Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone\u2019s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs<\/a> fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs<\/a>, the Bears<\/a>, or the Steelers<\/a>. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.<\/p>\n

Player Summary<\/p>\n

Waymond Jordan doesn\u2019t give you a lot to be uber excited about on film, but in moments, he flashes good traits. Among those is his strength and vision as a runner, especially considering his size he has. He plays bigger than he is listed, which is interesting, but his style is different than most players with his build. He is a complicated study, but is someone who could be a riser with a strong 2026.<\/p>\n
