Looking back at Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2017 Draft class

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2017 rookie class was impressive last season. Led by the highly-touted tight end O.J. Howard, the youth on the Tampa roster was one of the few brights spots during a rough 5-11 season.

Tampa kicked off their Draft last season by selecting Howard with the 19th overall pick. After a great career at Alabama, Howard projected to be a versatile target for Jameis Winston. He lived up to the bill, catching a team-high six touchdowns.

Later on in the Draft, Tampa Bay selected another target for Winston. This time it was Chris Godwin out of Penn State.
