3 for 3

Congraats my friend, you must be proud.

Very happy for him and his peeps

I kid that there are HSers around here who can play better than some of the Bucs CBs.....somewhat kidding.  Does Leonard have a couple of buddies we can suit up?

An undersized linebacker!!

I just want to be in the position next year where there isn't the Grand Canyon gap at any one position. Thinning the herd one more time, usually 10 to 15 players each year will allow the Bucs to infuse themselves, with coachable 'Buccaneer men' that can grow into the position. I really do see a lot of guys not being here next year. This coaching staff is 'coaching' during the week and these no names are showing up. If, IMHO, there is not the second coming of Deion Sanders when we draft next year, I would LOVE to trade down and help solve our obvious problem....depth. get rid of 15, bring in 15 and teach them how to play, just like this year. Depth will win us another Super Bowl. Think of the guys who scored today, Underwood, Watson, Johnson, Clark. Not Martin, Jackson & Williams. Depth is the answer. 53 strong

Just a clarification....Hayward scored the touchdown the blocked punt by Watson.

I agree with the overall thought although I don't think the Bucs have two CBs who are true starters in the league. Johnson's skillset seem best fit for slotwork. If the opportunity is there in the first two rounds they are almost compelled to draft a CB.

A poor showing at the combine killed his draft stock....i thought we'd pick him late. Couldn't believe he went undrafted.

I suspect the Bucs knew they'd be able to sign him without drafting him. He was brought in and immediately put with the draftees IIRC.

I think we were lucky he wasn't drafted by someone else

[Bucs N Beers]

Maybe I missed it somewhere else, but what's your connection to him Hate? Just kinda curious.

He played football with his father.

[Bucs N Beers]

I think next years CB's will be: 1st round draft pick, mid round draft pick, Wright, Gaitor, Leonard Johnson, LeQuan Lewis
