Buccaneers sign the CFL’s best receiver
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed wide receiver Derel Walker, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.
The Bucs’ newest addition was a star receiver for the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League the past two years. He put a whopping 198 catches for 2,699 yards and 16 touchdowns in 30 games. Walker won a Grey Cup and was named the CFL’s Most Outstanding Rookie in 2015.
He was just impressive in 2016, coming in second in the entire CFL with 109 catches for 1,589 yards and 10 touchdowns. As in: he ranked second in each of those categories. Pretty impressive for a 25-year old who went undrafted in 2014 after spending his college career at Texas A&M, playing on the same team as Mike Evans.
