This Buccaneers Position Group is Among NFL's Best According to New Ranking

A new ranking highlighted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as having one of the NFL’s best tackle duos heading into 2026, led by Tristan Wirfs and Luke Goedeke. SI.com’s Gilbert Manzano listed the league’s top five tackle pairings, placing Tampa Bay’s combination third. The article emphasizes Wirfs’ impact, noting he is the only player to earn first-team All-Pro as both a right and left tackle for the Associated Press, and it ties his development to the Buccaneers’ Super Bowl run. It also references Pro Football Focus grades from last season, when Wirfs received top-five marks in both pass blocking and run blocking. Goedeke is portrayed as the steady complement, including that the Buccaneers moved him from left guard to right tackle in his second season. Manzano’s report says Goedeke later received a four-year, $90 million contract extension in 2025.
