The total rundown on new Bucs RB Sean Tucker
The Buccaneers picked up a few interesting UDFAs after the draft’s conclusion, and one of them is Syracuse RB Sean Tucker. Tucker had a medical issue at the combine that prevented him from doing drills, but he is expected to be cleared by training camp and to join the Bucs.
Here’s all the info on the explosive back out of Syracuse:
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 207 lbs
Age: 21
Hometown: Owings Mills, Maryland
Scouting Report (Dane Brugler, the Athletic): “A three-year starter at Syracuse, Tucker was the featured running back in former offensive coordinator Robert Anae’s zone-based scheme. He put himself on the NFL radar with a Syracuse-record 1,496 rushing yards in 2021, joining Jim Brown, Ernie Davis and Floyd Little as the only Orange running backs to earn All- American recognition. Tucker displays the patience and instincts for inside/outside zone and is able to quickly clear holes with his block anticipation and north-south acceleration. However, he doesn’t generate maximum power through his lower half, which tends to limit his yards after contact. Overall, Tucker isn’t the most creative or elusive with the ball in his hands, but he has the vision and burst of an explosive one-cut runner and adds value in the passing game. If healthy, he projects best as a change-of-pace back in a zone-running scheme.”
