LSU’s Trey’Dez Green gives the Tampa Bay Buccaneers an ideal complementary duo at tight end.
Cade Otton signed a three-year, $30 million contract extension this offseason. He’s a traditional in-line tight end, though. Green is a completely different option to use in 12 personnel packages under offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.
The 6’7″, 237-pound prospect can create mismatches while operating detached from the line of scrimmage. His size and length are an ideal fit for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who has showed a tendency to miss high when his accuracy falters.
Green can’t be a direct replacement for Mike Evans, who left the franchise after 12 seasons and signed with the San Francisco 49ers. However, the incoming prospect’s frame and catch radius bring a completely different dynamic when working alongside Tampa’s top three receivers, who are all listed at 6’1″.
