    Buccaneers CB Torrie Cox and CB Elbert Mack could compete for the nickelback job during training camp. Last year Mack saw time in that role early in the season, when Aqib Talib was dealing with injuries and he not only proved effective in coverage but also belied his smallish frame (5-10, 175 pounds) with tackling that was hard and technically-sound. Veteran Torrie Cox has struggled with injuries throughout his six-year NFL career but has always shown talent that has intrigued the coaching staff.
