The 2014 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season, the first under head coach Lovie Smith, was highlighted by the sensational debut of first-round draft pick Mike Evans, who recorded over 1,000 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. While the team finished with a challenging 2-14 record, the season featured several bright spots, including Pro Bowl selections for defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and a high-powered receiving duo with Vincent Jackson also surpassing the 1,000-yard mark.
