2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Bucky Irving and Rachaad White
We saw how well Bucky Irving and Rachaad White work together last season. They combined for 2,520 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns.
As a ball-carrier, White took a backseat to Irving, who led 2024 rookies in rushing yards. Yet he finished with 1,006 scrimmage yards and led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers backfield in touchdowns (nine).
They are a unique duo because they're a proven interchangeable pair on all three downs. They can run between the tackles on early downs, and their catch and receiving yard totals from last year are similar.
The Buccaneers had to refill the offensive coordinator position for a third consecutive offseason after Liam Coen accepted the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coaching job, but they promoted from within, bumping Josh Grizzard up from the pass game coordinator role.
Tampa Bay has maintained some continuity within the offensive coaching ranks, which will bode well for Irving and White's chemistry.
1. Detroit Lions: Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery
i know Bucky had a monster year but certainly did not expect to see them at 2 wow.
A "duo" to me means they are a one two punch like Alstott and Dunn. Gibbs and Montgomery would fit that bill. Robinson and Allgier also. Last year White was a distant second, so going by that I wouldn't even put them as a "duo". But this year may be different. The Bucs would be smart not to overuse Irving. I just don't know things will shake out with Tucker in the mix as well.
Interesting to not see Henry & hill as well.
honorable mentions included Seattle Green Bay and jax.
