Ayden Garnes who had the Pick6 and a TFL for the @Buccaneers has an amazing selfless story.
The Real Story of Ayden Garnes
•The Bone Marrow Match: While playing as a redshirt freshman cornerback for Duquesne University, Ayden joined the National Marrow Donor Program during a team drive. Six months later, he discovered he was a perfect match for a woman in her 20s who lived outside of the United States.
•The Timing: The surgery took place in Boston on January 4, 2023. Because it occurred during the college football offseason, he did not actually have to go on the injury list or miss any game time during the 2023 season.
•The Impact: Garnes later transferred to West Virginia and eventually became a standout defensive back for the Arizona Wildcats Doctors confirmed the procedure would not hurt his football career, and he went on to have a highly impressive college run while heavily advocating for bone marrow drives on campus.
Wow!! And he was a lockdown CB at Arizona and ran a 4.37!
He’s 6-0 181 plenty long but a little light but damn he shows great instincts on this pick love him!
Divisional Playoffs - 2020 (13-5)
TB 30 NO 20
Sweet revenge. The Bucs went into New Orleans and beat the Saints to advance in the playoffs. Drew Brees final game in the NFL. 4 takeaways to none was the difference.
This win was incredibly satisfying. Those Saints teams were so arrogant. I have never, to this day, seen a team publicly celebrate a mid year regular season win like the Saints did after the SNF game in Tampa.
I had this "We Dat" video in the chamber of ideas for a long time because of it. I wanted them to see each other again, just so the Bucs could prove a point. And sure enough...

I posted this video mere hours after the game. All the older clips, screenshotted tweets etc. were ready to roll. The Bucs just needed to finish the job, and like I thought they would, they did. I was so happy man lol
