TheKillerNacho Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40291827/wr-sterling-shepard-agrees-terms-bucs-sources-say After getting hurt in 2021 and 2022, Shepard's playtime with the Giants in 2023 was among the lowest in his career. He hopes that Tampa Bay's questionable receiver depth will help him resurrect his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Been a while, was he Baker's Oklahoma WR or was Baker after Shepard left? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, because Shep doesn't really have much left. Speed is sapped a bit, agility is sapped a bit, and he's very fragile. He still knows how to run great routes though. The Bucs WR depth is way thinner than I thought though, so he has a chance to make the roster I guess. What's really gonna hurt him most is that he has never played any special teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember tuning into a Heritage Hall HS game on ESPN to get a look at Barry Sanders, Jr but it was Shepherd who was the best player on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has chance to be WR 5. Evans, Godwin, Palmer, and McMillian definitely are ahead of him on the depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can the Bucs keep a guy as WR5 when he doesn't play on specials? If they can, then he'll probably make the roster, so long as he stays healthy.

I think he can make it because our new OC runs a lot of 3 WR sets as the base offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also ask who were your more outside guys on kickoff, but that whole play is changing and there probably won't be many WRs on the kickoff unit anymore.

I think one of them was one of the WR's - I don't remember exactly who. If Shep has 0 special teams ability then yeah he might get the boot after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 He was such a fun player to watch in his prime. Feels like he's gotten way too old and broken down physically to be much of anything anymore though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is way too talented to play gunner - now as starting CB we will need someone else to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
