Bucs Add Four More Rookies


TAMPA - South Florida wideout Amarri Jackson was one of four players to earn another look from the Bucs during their tryout last weekend.

The other rookies signed by the Bucs were DT Chris Bradwell (Troy), C John Rochford (Miami) and RB Clifton Smith (Fresno State).

Rochford was one of three players who was rewarded for his effort at the camp. He was allowed to keep his helmet. Now he gets a chance to keep his uniform for a while.

The most interesting member of the group is probably Smith, the 5-foot-8, 190-pound running back out of Fresno State. Smith led his team in all purpose yardage last year and is the epitome of an all-purpose back. He averaged more than 6 yards per carry as a runner, caught 33 passes and accumulated more than 300 yards on punt returns in 2007.

Domnick Rhodes is not an answer, EG is just as effective as Rhodes.  If we needed a back, we should have drafted Jonathon Stewart.  He’s a beast and is going to KILL US twice a year for the next 5-10 years.

If we were looking to get another RB why didn’t we go get Domnick Rhodes or something like that and then just loaded up on WR talent at Mini-camp? We don’t need anymore guys from those other possitions. I think last weeks mini-camp was a bust.

Mitch, Good point.

How is 5’8’’ 190lbs the epitome of an all purpose back?  They say Cadillac is/was too small to carry the load, and he is 5’11 217.  Roy, please define “epitome of an all purpose back”.
