Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Sean Tucker appears to be in line to be the No. 3 back behind RBs Bucky Irving (shoulder) and newcomer Kenneth Gainwell. "Right now, Bucky is on track to be ready to go. I think the combination of Kenny and Bucky are very similar as far as the skill set. Weight, size, all that," running backs coach Skip Peete said. "They're both capable of running the ball and running routes, catching and all that. They're not very large people, but they're willing pass protectors. Sean has continued to improve. He flashes sometimes, and he does a good job, and I think he will continue to get better." Huddle Up: Tucker had a prominent role at times in 2025, and he had 106 rushing yards and two touchdown, with one receiving score, in a game at Buffalo on Nov. 16 in a starting role. He can be explosive when given the chance, but he is well down the depth chart. If you have the roster flexibility, he is worth a look in the final rounds when looking for depth, especially if you select Irving and/or Gainwell earlier in the draft.
