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\u00a0Bucs<\/a>\u00a0fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.\u00a0<\/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, the\u00a0Bears<\/a>, or the\u00a0Steelers<\/a>. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.<\/p>\n FilmNeed a news break?

Several may be looking to find their solution at the running back position, and Lacy could be one of those options. He makes defenders miss, handles a large workload while remaining durable, and keeps his balance through contact. I wish he got more work as a receiver, but for whatever reason, he hasn\u2019t yet. He has the style to be really productive in that department when a team decides to use him more that way.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 5, 2026, 2:29 p.m. ET Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone\u2019s favorite time of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910884,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[95878,7,6,119286,96509,96860,95882,96089,96027,96098,95896,95888,95895,95906,96099,95902,95883,95881],"class_list":["post-910883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-accessfree","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-sourcebucs-wire","tag-sstssportsnflbuccaneers","tag-sstsnbuccaneers","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagchicago-bears","tag-tagcollege-sports","tag-tagmississippi-rebels","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagsec-conference-football","tag-tagsport-scores-statistics","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116699045864731036","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
