It's been a fantastic offseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after winning the Super Bowl. However, the Bucs starting linebacker, Devin White, hit a personal goal away from football. Although he's been in the NFL, White has continued attending LSU to earn his degree. The LSU Tigers shared a clip of White receiving his diploma through social media.

Not only is Devin White a monster on the football field for the Bucs, but he's also proving his smarts as well. Not everyone can call themselves a professional football player or a college graduate. However, White can claim both of those titles. He's become one of the best linebackers in the league and after achieving a college degree, Devin White should be viewed as a role model for today's youth.

A football career doesn't last forever, and many players struggle to find a new career once they hang it up. Now that White has his degree, life will become much easier for him whenever he decides to retire from the NFL. That won't be for a while though, as White is only 23 years old and still has plenty of time left in his NFL career.

Tampa Bay will lean on him to provide consistency on defense again as they go on another Super Bowl run.

The future looks bright for the Bucs, as well as Devin White. Tampa Bay might be a powerhouse for years to come with White playing a featured role throughout his career. We'll see how it plays out, as multiple other franchises are making a case for Super Bowl contention as well.
