Sean Tucker: Buccaneers

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

YES!!!

 

[Cuse'91]

Was just thinking about Gio Bernard retirement...

 

[RF2044]

Reyes - man, that dude was smooth

I don't know how he wasnt drafted

Because he dislocated his shoulder late in the season, and then became a health risk.

 

[Trueblue25]

is Fournette still with the Bucs? Whos his comp?

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Running backs are seen as so disposable in the NFL these days. Lucky to get two or three years of good production before their career is over.

He's not

 

[David332]

Please be true Buccaneers!

Looking at who they have currently, best spot for him

 

[CuseOrange15]

While it’s certainly disappointing and shocking that he went undrafted that doesn’t mean he won’t have an opportunity to stick in the NFL. Quite a few stars and starters have been UDFA.

From an article I saw earlier… “Undrafted players comprise roughly one-fifth of NFL rosters and provide the NFL with more value and snaps than the sixth- and seventh-rounds combined.”

yup. lot of these deals are arranged ahead of time. you can often get a better spot as an UDFA than a 6th or 7th round guy.

 

[Marsh01]

Like SVT?

Not sure how I missed that. Sigh.

The fact he is a RB who didn't run the 40 at his pro day was a terrible look and I felt a very bad sign.

Svt is treatable

 

[David332]

Bucs had 8 picks, didn’t draft any RBs so this makes a lot of sense for them.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

Svt is treatable

I know, my son has it.
Its scary as hell as a parent but the doctors dont even take it that seriously, which is reassuring.
I still dont know if its "ideal" for an athlete, but I agree its manageable and shouldnt prevent success.

[swish7]

Tampa Bay sounds like a good landing spot. Give 'em hell Tucker!

As a team, the Bucs appear to be dead last in
* rushing yardage...
* yards per carry
* TDs
* 20+ yard rushes
* etc

I do as well.

Feel awful for Tucker. Clearly his heart issue is a big enough concern that no team was willing to risk a draft pick on him. I just wish him good health and a long life. A productive NFL career is an afterthought now.

 

[sutomcat]

Good luck to him. Hope he does well and has a long and distinguished career.

Really enjoyed watching him play for Syracuse….

All he needs is a chance. The Bucs RB depth chart is not exactly a murderer's row. If he can stay healthy, he has every chance to make that roster.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Screw it, Tucker's your ROY on offense.

 

[David332]

I firmly believe Tucker is going to do well in the NFL. He is about to have his chance.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Fair..but Neal was a very good RB who didn't have the injury concern Tucker does. If Sean was a day 2 guy, Neal absolutely was a day 3/udfa guy

I’m drawing a total blank on this, but what the hell happened to Moe Neal? You’ve mentioned him 4 times in the last couple of pages. I have no recollection.

Jerome Smith was a Cuse RB who I thought had a chance to stick in the NFL but couldn’t. Delone Carter played about 3 years as did Curtis Brinkley. I think Prince Tyson-Gulley and Antwan Bailey got camp looks but got cut. I am glad Tuck is getting a shot. Seems like he'll have a legitimate shot there.

 

[TampaLaker]

Bucs O-Line last year was a mess. They had a great line the year before, but had All-Pro Guard Ali Marpet (Hobart) retire and their All-Pro center Jensen get injured in the first?? game, they also lost a starter to free agency... Jensen should be back, but the line will be the big question for the Bucs. If the line comes back, Tucker should have a good chance to make the team and have a BIG impact.
