5 Receivers the Buccaneers Need to Consider Now
Jacquizz Rodgers has shown us all that a player who struggles on one team can quickly become a success on another. At 3-3 with the home stretch looming, the time for the Buccaneers to make a move is now.
True, the names on this list are either playing the same amount of pro football as I am, toiling on their current teams or even buried under established talent on their respective depth chart.
No matter who they are, every NFL player has the potential to be a breakout star waiting for his chance in the right situation.
Victor Cruz was an unknown until he got on the field and we all know the story of Tom Brady and the legend of the sixth-round draft pick.
However, if the Buccaneers are serious about making a move it needs to be the right kind of move. Bringing in another tall and relatively slow receiver doesn’t make sense. Bringing in a quicker than fast slot guy doesn’t make sense.
What does make sense is a receiver who can play outside and stretch a defense up the field.
Dirk Koetter’s offense has called for a good amount of deep throws, but waiting for lumbering receivers to get up field with a pocket collapsing around you will never get the job done.
Adding a player who can get to the top of a 20-yard route in less than three seconds is ideal, and would allow Winston to use the arm he’s been blessed with.
These are just my thoughts, and I’ll never claim to know everything so, let’s hear yours!
