In the spring of 2009, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers used a fifth-round pick to try to add some depth to their offensive tackle position, selecting Xavier Fulton out of Illinois. Once the draft ended, the Buccaneers addressed the position again by signing rookie free agent Andre Douglas out of Temple. Fulton and Douglas both came to Tampa the next weekend for a rookie mini-camp, as did a mostly unknown player out of Southern Miss with a resume long on basketball and short on football.
That third player was Demar Dotson, who had all of a seven-game career on the gridiron in college.
