A year ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster for the regular season featured four undrafted rookies. The Buccaneers' first regular-season lineup for 2017 includes just one such newcomer, but it still features some young players who earned their spots due to impressive training camp and preseason performances.
That one undrafted rookie on the first iteration of Tampa Bay's 2017 roster is tight end Antony Auclair, whose successful journey to the NFL regular season is made doubly impressive by the fact that he played his college football at the Canadian college of Laval, which has only fielded a football team since 1996.
