ATLANTA — Mike Evans endured four last- place finishes in the NFC South in his first six sea- sons with Tampa Bay before last season’s breakthrough Super Bowl championship earned the Buccaneers long-awaited respect. The former doormats of the division are now en- vied by every other NFL team. “I’ve been waiting for this for seven years now,” said Evans, a first-round pick in 2014. “That’s what we want. When we went to Pittsburgh my rookie year, we wanted to be the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now everybody wants to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s what you want, and we look forward to the challenge.” Tom Brady and the Buccaneers aren’t the de- fending division champions. New Orleans won its fourth consecutive division title at 12-4, one game ahead of Tampa Bay, which made the playoffs as a wild card. The retirement of Saints quarterback Drew Brees only makes Tampa Bay a stronger favorite in the division. First-year Falcons coach Arthur Smith, the for- mer Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator, says Tampa Bay the Saints’ four-year run atop the division de- quarterback Tom serves respect. Brady throws a pass “I know Drew Brees is retired, but they’ve Aug. 28 against the won a lot of football games and sustained Houston Texans during success, so we’ve got all the respect in the an NFL preseason game world for New Orleans,” Smith said. in Houston.

Arians relayed a simple mes- sage on the first day of training camp in July. “Don’t assume anything. We’re starting from scratch. That was last year’s team,” Arians said. Brady, 44 and who had offseason knee surgery, is doing his part to make sure complacency isn’t an issue. Even though the Bucs return all 22 starters, Brady reiterated the difficulty of the challenge ahead. It’s difficult to repeat as Super Bowl champions, but Brady knows the path. No team has repeated since Brady led the 2003 and 2004 New England Patriots to consecutive titles. “We have to be able to create our own future, and that’s really about attitude, effort, and prepa- ration,” Brady said. “Nothing about last year is going to carry over into this year. ...
