Brady obviously had a well-established comfort level with Jensen but will now be working with Hainsey (and potentially others) by necessity. He expects the young player to work hard to meet the challenge.
“He’s worked really hard,” said Brady of Hainsey. “Obviously, everyone’s heartbroken with what happened Ryan. So, that’ll take a little time, but ‘Haines’ has to step into the job and do a great job. He’s worked hard last year, really gained a lot of trust with a lot of people and he has to go earn it. Like all of us, it’s not what you did, how hard you worked in the offseason, it’s how good of a football player are you. It’s to be determined for all of us.”
Meanwhile, tight end Rob Gronkowski has retired and the Buccaneers have added veteran Kyle Rudolph and two 2022 draft picks, Cade Otton and Ko Kieft, to the position. There’s more continuity at receiver with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin (when he makes his return from injury), Scotty Miller, Cyril Grayson, Tyler Johnson and Breshad Perriman. But there are new faces there, too, primarily former Falcons Russell Gage and Julio Jones. It’s a loaded spot on the depth chart, but there is still some work to be done to figure out how all the pieces fit.
“They’re all working hard,” said Brady of the Bucs’ receivers. “Obviously, we got a lot of really great professionals that have great work ethics and know how to play the game. Those guys are coming out to work every day, so its tough conditions out here, not a lot of wind and its just pretty hot and you have to gear up every day for it.”
