Whitehead, who signed with the Buccaneers this offseason after spending the last two seasons with the Jets, is already working seamlessly with fellow safety Antoine Winfield in training camp, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Whitehead spent the first four seasons of his career with the Buccaneers before departing for his two-year sojourn in the Big Apple. The veteran safety is coming off a 2023 campaign where he picked off a career-high four passes, and head coach Todd Bowles notes Whitehead returned with improved footwork, deep coverage ability and football IQ. Whitehead is also now reunited with Winfield, who he played alongside during the latter's first two seasons, and the duo has had no trouble reestablishing chemistry. "They're both playing off each other, talking to each other, figuring out what they want to do disguise-wise," safeties coach Nick Rapone said. "Yeah, it's exactly what we thought it would be."
