Gainwell is signed as the 1b complement to Irving after a career year with Pittsburgh: 73 receptions for 486 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus 537 rushing yards and 5 TDs on 4.7 yards per carry. The source expects him to get significant snaps in Tampa's pass-heavy running back scheme under Zac Robinson, who heavily featured Bijan Robinson (79 catches, 820 yards, 4 TDs). Gainwell could seize a lion's share of touches if he remains effective as a pass catcher and runner, especially if Irving falters.
