The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are counting on Adrian Clayborn to bolster their sagging pass rush.

Clayborn is expected to contribute right away on a young defensive line that also features tackle Gerald McCoy, the No. 3 overall pick a year ago. "This guy is a productive player. He creates havoc on the football field. He helps other players around him become productive players," Dominik said.
