linebacker Jonathan Casillas






Start the Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Jonathan Casillas has obviously liked what he’s seen so far from new quarterback Josh McCown. Tampa Bay Buccaneers  While praising McCown on a recent radio interview, Tampa Bay Buccaneers  Casillas compared him to former New Orleans Saints teammate Drew Brees. Tampa Bay Buccaneers  Casillas, who began his career with the Saints from 2009-2012, said repeatedly that he didn’t want to take anything away from second-year quarterback Mike Glennon. But he said on ESPN New York’s Dave Rothenberg Show that McCown is just “on another level right now, I believe.”  “McCown looks like he’s played a couple of years in this game,” Casillas said of the 12th-year veteran, who shined with the Chicago Bears last season as a replacement for injured starter Jay Cutler before signing with the Buccaneers as a free agent. “It’s a strong comparison, but he reminds me of Drew (Brees), Tampa Bay Buccaneers  not just the way he throws the ball, but his approach to the game. The first one in, the last one out, he’s always around. He’s very communicable, very personable. And you can tell he’s a born leader. Tampa Bay Buccaneers  “You know, he’s not even trying to do much now, but people are following him, Tampa Bay Buccaneers  just his approach to the game. And like I said, Tampa Bay Buccaneers  Glennon is learning a lot from him. So, if Glennon can beat him out this year, that will be great. Because at the end of the day, if Glennon can beat McCown out, then we’re going to get a good quarterback.” Tampa Bay Buccaneers   Arizona Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald, Tampa Bay Buccaneers  who played with McCown early in their careers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers  also praised McCown while participating in the Drew Brees Passing Academy, according to the Tampa Tribune, Tampa Bay Buccaneers .
