Tampa Bay Buccaneers Enjoy a Super Bowl Parade for the Books

The Buccaneers held a boat parade on Wednesday to celebrate their Super Bowl LV win as thousands of fans lined up around the Hillsborough River in Tampa, hoping to catch a glimpse of the champs celebrating the franchise’s first title since 2003. The parade was highlighted by several entertaining moments, most notably from Tom Brady.

Brady was seen tossing the Lombardi Trophy from his boat across the water to another boat full of Bucs players. And just like on the field, Brady’s pass was completed, this time to his shirtless TE Cameron Brate. Then, Brady tweeted a reaction to a video of him drunk being walked out after getting off the boat.

It wouldn’t be a party without Gronk doing Gronk things, as the legendary TE was feeling himself. Known for always having a good time, Rob Gronkowski was seen dancing on the side of his boat and nearly falling into the water. Like most parties, though, it didn’t go without any accidents, as WR Scotty Miller dropped fellow receiver Chris Godwin‘s phone into the river. 

Head coach Bruce Arians vowed to keep LB Lavonte David and Godwin, who are both scheduled to be free agents. Both players were key pieces in the Bucs Super Bowl run and appear to be leaning towards re-signing, along with free agent EDGE Shaq Barrett, who has let his intention to return be known as well. 

Arians also spoke of going for back-to-back next season with the same group in an explicit speech that captured his excitement. If Tampa Bay can come back mostly intact, there is no reason to believe they won’t be favored to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl next season and possibly win it all once again.
