1. OT Donovan Smith
Smith is making strides towards becoming a starter in the NFL. For the first time since practices have been available to the media, Smith worked with the first team offensive line. And when he was on the sideline, he ran sprints with Logan Mankins, Evan Smith and Garrett Gilkey in what has become a Mankins ritual.
2. WR Russell Shepard
Shepard, one of the Bucs’ best special teams players a year ago, had a couple nice catches during Thursday’s practice, including a touchdown in the middle of the field from Jameis Winston during 11-on-11 drills.
