Biceps injuries have largely defined the first two seasons of Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy's career, with the third overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft finishing each year on injured reserve. With the Buccaneers off-season workout program in full swing, McCoy plans to be "110 percent" by training camp. According to Ira Kaufman of The Tampa Tribune, the 24-year-old is also looking to embrace a leadership role on a Buccaneers team that is not only the youngest rosters in the league, but has one of the youngest defensive lines in the NFL.

When they drafted me, that's what I was brought here to be and that's what I love being. I'm not really a follower-type guy...I'm just a natural leader." Source: Mac's Football Blog
