Buccaneers: 4 Big Ten players we wish could become free-agents now
1. RB Journey Brown (Penn State)
Running back may not be the most important position on the field anymore, so it probably wouldn’t make too much sense to bring in a top-tier running back in this system. After all, Journey Brown may be the No. 1 RB taken in next year’s draft, assuming that he comes out.
That being said, we’re talking about hypothetical free-agency and this would be a perfect opportunity for the Bucs to upgrade the running back position with a player who very well may be the next Derrick Henry.
Brown runs hard and has great explosiveness. It’s my opinion that if he were on the Tampa Bay roster right now, he’d be the starter- and that’s not a shot at Ronald Jones. He’s just that good.
If you want to upgrade the offense one more step, add an explosive running back who can give the Bucs a whole new dynamic. That’s exactly what Brown would bring to the table.
