Buccaneers players that did not disappoint in win vs. Eagles

3. Vita Vea, DT

Vita Vea absolutely erased Miles Sanders from this game from the start, and he was doing so with relative ease.

Vea is one of the most unfair players in the entire league right now.

For a player who is listed at 6-foot-4, 347 pounds, Vea is nearly impossible for interior linemen on offense to track at the snap.

He’s so quick off the ball, so explosive, and so strong, it’s hard to know exactly what to do to counter all of his talents and physical abilities when he’s healthy.

Vea was an eraser in this game, not just of Miles Sanders early on, but also as a pass rusher.

He finished with three total tackles, a sack, and two quarterback hits.

It doesn’t matter if you have the best interior linemen in the NFL, if you double-team him, or if you try to run away from him — Vea is going to impact the play and get himself into the backfield one way or another.

Even if his technique wasn’t refined, which it is, Vea would be able to get into the backfield every play based purely on his unbelievable strength.

He was dominant in this game and made life miserable for Jalen Hurts.
