Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.
Durojaiye has been around college football but has never found his footing in developing the way his frame and athleticism suggest he could. He has some promise, and I think South Carolina is the perfect spot for him, as they have shown they can develop defensive linemen. If he can add some reliable pass-rushing tools, his development would make a big jump. However, until that happens, he remains a rotational piece at best, given the lack of other proven traits to work with.
