At the end of the pre-season it’s a pretty good assumption to make that the Bucs will keep just three total running backs on their active roster meaning three of these players on the bubble will be looking for another team or a practice squad spot, and two of them will be simply looking for another opportunity to play football in the National Football League.

It’s players in this position that find the pre-season to be so important.  The stars use it as a tune up, but for these guys, it means pay day or no pay day.
