As the Buccaneers look to improve their backfield following the release of former first round pick Doug Martin, don’t be surprised if they double dip – signing one in free agency and grabbing one in the draft. It makes the most sense for the free agent back to be a secondary guy – unless that guy is Le’Veon Bell – while whoever they draft becomes the primary back and a player that can grow with the young core of Jameis Winston, Mike Evans, and O.J. Howard.
Jerick McKinnon seems like that viable option to share the load in the Bucs’ backfield.
