UPDATED 4/15 – 12:45 P.M.

Following the NFL Scouting Combine, the Bucs are continuing with their pre-draft preparation. As the NFL Draft draws near, the team is still hosting official 30 visits into April. These visits allow Tampa Bay to bring in players for private meetings at the team facility so the Bucs’ brass can get a better idea of who the draft prospect is in a less time-crunched setting than the Senior Bowl or the NFL Scouting Combine. Teams are allowed to schedule 30 of these visits.

Players who live or played college ball within 50 miles of the team facility do not count against these 30 visits. This bodes well for the Bucs because Florida is a prep football mecca and have Florida, UCF and USF within that range, allowing them to bring in a several players without reducing their official 30 number.

Teams use these visits for various reasons, and these visits can be used as a smokescreen to make other teams think they are high on a player. Just because a player is not hosted does not mean a team is not high on them. Last season the Bucs used their first-round pick on wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and didn’t even bring him in for an official 30 visit during their scouting.

Teams like the Bucs can also use 30 visits to get to know a less-heralded prospect who is projected to go late in the draft, or establish a rapport with a potential undrafted free agent that could aid the team when it comes to recruiting that player following the draft. The team hosted a couple of players it wound up bringing to the team last year on 30 visits, including cornerback Jacob Parrish and safety J.J. Roberts, who signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent.

One of the most critical components of these visits is the fact teams can use their own doctors to look into medical questions they may have about a player. This gives the team additional context on how comfortable they may be with actually selecting the player in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft.

Here is a list of players who have reportedly visited the team on an official 30 visit or have a 30 visit scheduled with Tampa Bay.
