To quote a famous movie, the Bucs “…feel the need, the need for speed.” Any guy that posts a forty time of 4.39 seconds carries just that kind of speed. That is what Kolby Listenbee brings to the table. Here are his stats:

With averages of 18 yards per catch and 19 yards per catch, Listenbee can clearly take the top off of a defense. He is no stranger to performing in big games, posting a touchdown in the Peach Bowl in 2014 against Ole Miss.
David Holmes of NFL Mocks writes that although he catches the ball at its highest point, he has a limited route tree and catches the ball with his body. He could be a bust, the likes of Stephen Hill. But, then again, Randy Moss made his living off of a limited route tree. It could go either way. But at round five, he was worth the gamble.
