Egbuka's Year 2 development is the biggest question for the Bucs receiving corps.

Emeka EgbukaWRTB

Egbuka produced prolifically in his first 8 games of 2025 with 34 receptions for 562 yards and 5 touchdowns, showing immediate chemistry with Baker Mayfield and playing like one of the best receivers in football. However, his stats cratered in weeks 9-18 with just 29 catches on 64 targets for 376 yards and 1 touchdown, finishing with a concerningly low 49.6% catch rate as teams figured out how to defend him. At age 24 with a full year of experience, Egbuka should be positioned to take a positive step forward in Year 2 development with a new coordinator, more reliability from returning receivers like Godwin and McMillan, and generally more consistency for the whole offense.
