Tight End-(4)

Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Cameron Brate, Luke Stocker, Dan Vitale (FB/TE)

This position group for the Bucs has great players, and there will not be much change from the 2015 season.  ASJ is in a make or break year, and fellow tight end Cameron Brate, who excelled expectations last year, will push him for the starting role. ASJ has flashed, but must find a way to stay on the field.

Luke Stocker is a brute of a tight end who will keep a roster spot due to his run blocking and special teams play.  Dan Vitale was drafted in the 6th round to come in and play both fullback and tight end.  He could easily stick with the team due to his versatility and play on special teams. The belief is Brandon Myers time in a Bucs’ uniform is finished.
