“Everybody is tired of meeting out here and eating outside and doing all those things we had to last year,” he said.
The Bucs had a vaccine event at mini-camp this week for any player and any family member of a player to get a vaccine.
More than 10,191,600 people have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine shot and more than 637,000 people have received a shot in Hillsborough county.
