 sup guys welcome back to another episode of rugby player reacts i'm your host jacob mcdonald and uh well thanks for joining me today we're looking at a buccaneers player he lands at number 43 on the list he's a super bowl ring recipient and his name's levante david is it yeah that's right levante david levon yeah ld for sure playing lb for the bucks but with all that being said we are on the top 50 which is exciting nonetheless it's going to be name after name after name from this point and i don't mind it so guys sit back relax get your beverage of choice i'm going to roll the intro and i'll see you in a minute right then levante david linebacker for the bucks let's see what uh well let's see what tom brady has to say no turkeys what nine points no turkeys and gronk got two turkeys two turkeys in the super bowl we all remember that right the embrace between tom brady and gronk on the field after the super bowl win two turkeys well this is a this is another embrace with the defensive player uh telling him no turkeys so whether it's two turkeys or no turkeys they all contributed to the win if you're not smiling after watching that then you've got no heart just like the tin man on the wizard of us last year man i started out a hundred like what what do you mean what that's all right like come on now right you gotta start somewhere make our mark make a point right now make a statement good these inside linebackers man they are so tough they go in so damn hard with whatever confronts them on the field they are absolute enforcers and they're ready to initiate contact at any moment they ain't gonna the best of the linebackers right the most aggressive of linebackers they ain't gonna absorb contact they're gonna initiate it and when you've got a running back wanting to initiate contact with that linebacker you've got a real collision on your hands not only that but it's exciting isn't it dangerous but exciting i said the number one thing about levante did that made him so good is his consistency you know day in and day out every game we're definitely gonna hear about this guy whether it's practice the game you're gonna get the same levante you're gonna bring the same swagger the same game and nobody's ever gonna be able to count them out his presence is gonna always be felt every time you take the field sorry i missed that one i was just admiring his facial hair and thinking yeah i'm yeah yeah anyways breakouts that could have been interception i gotta switch that oh i gotta turn those interceptions i gotta add that to my stat list i only had one interception last year which is ruggy one but it was what that's cool second hand arrives for the first time good moment of my career man just understanding protection i might have a one-on-one with the back and then understand that the back with the running back understanding that the back is yeah the running back definitely needs to react a bit quicker than that best job in the world gone up against he does his homework you can tell he's in the film room and he's studying schemes and making sure that he understands the positions that the coaches on our end are trying to put him in nice play way to track him across the field way to way to stick with him a big man like travis kelsie but also way to use your patience to break it up what's up other Super Bowl champs wabanta who's been studying in his league quietly for nine years now been some dog days here man first eight years of my career not making it to the playoffs only having one winning season to get to the Super Bowl and win it everybody you know to show love we're going out of history dog legend of you say the tamper legend worldwide legend champion to the world champions of the world feel really good about it i just should go to show the respect i have for those guys you got to put a lot of that you got to put a lot of that success on the back of tom brady right the end of the day if brady hadn't come to tamper bay would they have made the playoffs i don't know don't at me but before we go we're going to look up his stats if he's been with that same team the entire time eight seasons in the league without making the playoffs and he's gone and done it last year but not only that won the Super Bowl i mean as a career does it get any better he's been a tamper bay buck in air for life since 2012 pick number 58 in the second round of the 2012 draft he's certainly a veteran he runs a four six five 40 yard dash he's listed it being six foot one two hundred and thirty five pounds 36 and a half inch vertical jump 9 foot 11 on the broad jump and 19 reps on the bench press the other thing i like to read is their deals so he signed a rookie deal four year 3.47 million dollars in 2015 he signed a five-year 50.25 million dollar contract extension and in 2021 he signed a two-year 25 million dollar contract extension with the bucks worth 20 million guaranteed so the man has secured multiple bags he's secured multiple sacks one of which last year was on Aaron Rodgers and i will say and i will say guys that as far as tackle count is concerned this is the most we've seen thus far 1,125 combined tackles in the NFL in 137 games let me say that again 1,125 total tackles in 137 games 24 total sacks 48 passes deflected two pick sixes 24 force fumbles 16 fumble recoveries and one fumble recovery for a touchdown he's got some bucks franchise records most fumble recoveries in a career with 16 most tackles for loss in a career most assisted tackles in a season most tackles for loss in a season and most fumble recoveries in a season the man is a defensive machine the man is a defensive machine and he's number 43 on the list of the top 100 players in the NFL for 2021 guys thank you so much
