Russell Gage is the Most Underappreciated Buccaneers Player
Still, Tampa Bay has some players who don't quite get the recognition they deserve, and one of them may be a guy who hasn't even worn a game jersey for the team yet. Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, Tom Brady "(Russell) Gage led all Falcons receivers in receptions (66), receiving yards (770) and receiving TDs (4) in 2021," wrote NFL.com's Cynthia Frelund while examining one underappreciated player from each NFC team.

Tampa Bay Draft Picks

EDGE
Position
- Draft Grade: C+
- Pre-Draft Rank: 49
- School: Houston
- Height: 6' 6"

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Hall is a long, positionally diverse defender who will never be a huge sack producer, but he can contribute in multiple ways. He's known as humble and hard-working, having added about a quarter of his body weight since going to college, and will help fill a void on Tampa’s d-line.

- Draft Grade: C
- Pre-Draft Rank: 76
- School: Cent. Michigan
- Height: 6' 5"

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A bit surprising that Geodeke went ahead of his college teammate, Bernhard Raimann, but he's strong and determined, having built himself up from Division III to MAC standout. The fallback: He's inexperienced, raw and likely to kick in to guard.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
White stepped up his game at the Senior Bowl, displaying terrific slashing ability for his size. His underrated receiving ability also has developed quite nicely, which makes him capable of taking over the pass-catching role in Tampa. The Bucs added a lot of backs in recent years, but White is capable of making some noise.
