Tampa Bay Buccaneers' quarterback Tom Brady will welcome two former Minnesota Gophers to Tampa Bay.

On Friday, the Bucs drafted Antoine Winfield Jr. with the 45th overall pick during the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

On Saturday, it was Tyler Johnson's turn. The former Minneapolis North standout was selected as the 161st pick in the fifth round.

Johnson and Winfield Jr. should be familiar with the Raymond James Stadium, the home of the Buccaneers.

The last time the two played there was during the Gophers Outback Bowl win against Auburn. That win pushed the Gophers to an 11-2 record.

Later on Saturday, it was Kamal Martin and Carter Coughlin were both selected. Martin was taken in the 5th round by the Green Bay Packers and Coughlin was selected by the New York Giants in the 7th round.
