How Jason Pierre-Paul plays at LB earns him a B- performance grade. At 37 years old and in his 15th season since being drafted 15th overall in 2010, Pierre-Paul remains a capable depth contributor for Tampa Bay, though he's no longer operating at the Pro Bowl-caliber level that defined his prime. The 2025 season shows limited exposure, with just 3 games on his ledger so far—a snapshot that reflects either injury management, rotation usage, or the natural compression of snaps for a veteran in a transitional roster. Pierre-Paul's longevity itself is a strength; few players at his age maintain functional production rather than becoming complete afterthoughts, which speaks to his durability and understanding of his role in an NFL defense. His primary limitation at this stage is simply the reality of aging out of high-impact play—where he once anchored pass-rush units, he's now a situational or gap-disciplined reserve. The Buccaneers' recent defensive signings (Josiah Trotter, Josiah Green, Eric Rivers Jr.) suggest the team is actively refreshing its linebacker and pass-rush rotation, positioning Pierre-Paul in a backup capacity rather than a starter's load as the regular season approaches.
