Bucs Rookie TE Cade Otton a Sleeper Candidate?

In the eyes of SiriusXM’s Shane Vereen, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has the potential to be “one of the top rookie pass-catchers.”

“He is that good,” said Vereen, a former Patriots running back who played four years with current Bucs QB Tom Brady. “He was a great college tight end. And I think he has the smarts to get on the same page in a Tom Brady offense. I think he’s going to surprise a lot of people.”

A fourth-round selection in April’s draft, Otton finds himself in an ideal situation playing with the game’s greatest quarterback, as well as a clear path to playing time given the recent retirement of future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski.
