Bucky Hodges Could Be Lethal Playmaker With Steelers

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Steelers, Bucky

When first flicking on the tape, one almost immediately recognizes that Virginia Tech tight end Bucky Hodges is big; really big. It’s true, your eyes aren’t lying to you. The guy is 6’7″, 245 pounds to be exact. While 245 pounds isn’t necessarily on the high end of a tight end’s weight spectrum, he does have room to add more weight onto his frame.

He played for the Virginia Tech Hokies during his time in college, where he saw three consecutive seasons as a 500+ yard receiver. In my first mock draft of the season, I had the Steelers grab him with their second-round pick.
