Buccaneers: 5 winners and losers from Day 1 of padded practice

Scott Miller, wide receiver, could earn the WR3 role

The race to be the third receiver for the Buccaneers could be one of the biggest stories to follow this offseason. While most significant positions have been locked up, there is no clear third receiver for the time being. Tyler Johnson was drafted to play this role, but each day this job seems less secure.

Miller was above average last season when he was given opportunities. Miller also has excellent hands, blazing speed (probably the fastest play on the roster), and would provide a stark contrast from Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the field.

According to multiple journalists at the field, Miller was able to showcase his speed and was a target that Brady looked to early and often. It is no secret that Brady has been able to make the careers of players less talented than Miller, and the Goat may have found another favorite target.

Miller still has a long road ahead to earning this spot, but it is safe to assume that he is probably sitting in fourth on the depth chart if he isn’t already third. If Tyler Johnson doesn’t step up soon, there likely won’t be a job to fight for if Brady develops chemistry with the athletic Miller.
