Barron was the seventh selection of the 2012 draft out of the University of Alabama. Aside from two games missed last season with a hamstring injury, he has started every game for the Bucs since 2012.

Casillas went undrafted in 2009 and signed with the Saints. He spent three seasons in New Orleans before signing with Tampa Bay in 2012. He has started seven games for the Bucs over the past two seasons.
