Attorney General James Uthmeier is investigating possible civil rights violations related to the rule, which requires teams to interview at least two minority candidates for coach and GM positions.

After adding Rueben Bain Jr. in Round 1, the Bucs come back with an NFL legacy pick in Josiah Trotter, defensive back Keionte Scott, a UM teammate of Bain, and imposing receiver Ted Hurst.

Bain should immediately improve a defense that has struggled to find a legitimate pass rusher. Tampa Bay GM Jason Licht was pleasantly surprised a player of Bain's caliber dropped to the 15th pick.

Tampa Bay holds the 15th pick on Thursday night. That likely won't happen until at least 9:30, giving partygoers time to partake in the "immersive fan activities, giveaways and bar takeovers."

Attorney General James Uthmeier told the NFL its guidelines to improve diversity hiring in leadership positions are discriminatory and ordered the league to stop using it.

On "The Florida Roundup," Dungy gives his perspective on the "Rooney Rule," which requires NFL teams to interview diverse candidates.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged the changing political landscape for diversity initiatives in the U.S., but added that he didn’t believe there should be any legal issues with the league’s policy.

Attorney General James Uthmeier claims the policy encourages teams to hire nonwhite coaches, which would violate the state's employment laws banning discrimination.

The 36-year-old linebacker was the heart and soul of Tampa Bay’s defense, helping the Buccaneers win a Super Bowl by dominating Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs 31-9 on Feb. 7, 2021.

The decision to leave Tampa Bay wasn’t easy after Evans and his family built strong relationships with the community over 12 seasons. Once past that, he says, picking a new spot was far easier.
