Think back to the beginning of the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were lighting up the scoreboard. Outdueling the New Orleans Saints and breaking NFL records.
In the background, Adam Humphries sat waiting for his opportunity. He caught seven passes for 65 yards in the first three games of the season. He was the Bucs fourth receiver and didn’t see the field often.
On paper, it didn’t look like Humphries had a path to contribute much more than that. He could be a primary weapon on other NFL rosters, but with the talent Tampa Bay has, he sat in the back seat.
