- Ali Marpet and Donovan Smith never left the field.**
Marpet and Smith were on the field for every one of the Buccaneers' 1,138 offensive snaps this seasons, becoming the only Bucs on either side of the ball to play every single down. Marpet missed time with a leg injury during his rookie season, but since being selected in the second round of the 2015 draft, Smith has not missed a single play at left tackle. Marpet played more than any Buccaneer in 2016, taking a total 1,204 snaps – 1,138 on offense and 66 on special teams. Smith took 41 reps on special teams.
2. Vernon Hargreaves was called on often.
Hargreaves was a starter for the Buccaneers from Day One as a rookie and rarely stepped off the field during his first season in Tampa Bay. He played 1,036 defensive snaps, second on the team to only Lavonte David. He was on the field for 97.6 percent of the Bucs' defensive plays and was the only cornerback on the team to play more than 1,000 downs. Fellow cornerback Brent Grimes was on the field for 997 snaps, or 93.9 percent of the time.
