Even though he’s been excellent, there have been some worries, usually related to his weight. Vea’s true weight has increased since then, gaining at least 10 to 20 pounds more over the season, after weighing in at roughly 347 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine in 2018.
Jason Licht, general manager of the Bucs, stated on the PewterRepot.com podcast on Thursday that Vea is aware of the issue and intends to fix it.
According to Licht, “I think it’s very important,” on Thursday. “All the players saw personally how committed Tom Brady was to taking care of his health and how it prolonged his career while he was a member of our team. By this, I mean, historically. The final game of the season is always difficult, and last year, when we were exiting the locker room following the playoff loss in Detroit, everyone was, to put it mildly, not feeling well.

The chat didn’t go very far because we’re all just packing up and it’s a strange situation, but he had already planned on this. Many individuals were at that time unsure of what lay ahead for them, so naturally, a lot was going through their minds.
Vea participated in 16 games in 2021, but he missed the previous two seasons because of injuries. When he did play, his performance was not as good as it had been earlier in his career. Vea also needs to get better, as co-defensive coordinator Kacy Rodgers pointed out in April.

Rogers said, “Vita needs to play better.” When he uses his hands and the proper technique, Vita is a very strong man who is hard to stop. This is especially true when you are talking about it and only observing the plays he is omitting. That is the current issue. He plays hard and complies with whatever we ask of him.
“When you look back at some plays, you just say, ‘You should have made that play,'” You know he shouldn’t be getting in your way. That’s sort of where we need him to go next, since he does everything else we ask him to do.
