EMMITSBURG, Md. — Todd Bowles kept a promise to his late mother and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach is now a college graduate.

You’re never too old to stop learning. You stop learning and you get old. You get old when you stop learning. So I say to you, Class of 2023 — the future is yours, take it, grab it, run with it, be excited — be excited — every now and then come back and thank your parents.”
