TAMPA, Fla. -- Our next stop in our pre-camp positional analysis for the Buccaneers is tight end.
The Bucs didn’t get a lot of production out of this position last year. But that’s almost certain to change. New offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter had the tight ends very involved in the passing game during his stops in Atlanta and Jacksonville.
That’s good news for second-year pro Austin Seferian-Jenkins. He had only 21 catches during an injury-filled rookie season. But the Bucs believe Seferian-Jenkins can be a big producer in the passing game.
The team also picked up Tim Wright in the offseason. Wright isn’t much of a blocker, but he has good receiving skills and that could mean some two tight end sets.
Brandon Myers and Luke Stocker are strong blockers, but they likely will be competing for one roster spot.
