After using the third overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft on Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers used the third pick of the second round (35th overall) on UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price.

Projected by many draft experts to be selected in the first-round, the 6-1, 303-pound Price is a penetrating defensive tackle, finishing third in the nation last season with 23.5 tackles for a loss.
