Bucs running back Jeremy McNichols out to forge own identity

TAMPA, Fla. -- They both played the same position on the big blue field at Boise State and are now members of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But don't confuse rookie Jeremy McNichols with Doug Martin. The fifth-round draft pick is out to create his own identity at the next level, not emulate the two-time Pro Bowl running back.

"I want you guys to look at me as Jeremy McNichols. But of course everyone is gonna compare the numbers and the height, the weight, things like that, same school, so I really don't get bothered by that," McNichols said.
