The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced their rookie mini-camp roster for the next three days. The Bucs get their seven draft picks and nineteen undrafted free agents in the building for the first time, adding a whopping 25 tryout players who hope to make the roster -- but are mostly there just to serve as camp players so they can actually go through practice. After all, if you have wide receivers, you need quarterbacks to throw them the ball. Quarterbacks like, apparently, Steven Bench.
We talked about all of these undrafted free agents when they were announced, and the draft picks have been a frequent topic of conversation as well. The tryout players not so much. The most notable of these is probably Roman Namdar, a Mount Union receiver and former quarterback who put up a ridiculous 140 catches for 2,390 yards and 38 touchdowns in his only two years as a receiver. The Bucs also added a receiver called Mike Thomas, the third receiver with that name in this draft, and the fourth in NFL history -- unless he actually is the Mike Thomas who last played in the NFL in 2012.
Another intriguing player is Maine defensive end Mike Kozlakowski, who at 6'3" 250 lbs. is best fit to be a pass-rush specialist, and put up a very good 1.60-second 10-yard split at his pro day.
You can expect the Bucs to sign a few of these tryout players after the weekend, when they'll also cut some of the undrafted free agents they already signed.
