Buccaneers Draft Profile: FB-Dan Vitale

The fullback answer has been up in the air ever since the gruesome leg injury Jorvorskie Lane suffered in the final game of the season. Although Lane is rehabbing well, the team may turn to younger, healthier options in this year’s upcoming draft. This became true as soon as the free agency dinner bell began ringing and Lane was left without a job. At the owners’ meetings this past week in Boca Raton, coach Dirk Koetter said, “We don’t have a fullback right now, and we are going to get one. We just haven’t found him yet.” Does this mean that the Buccaneers are sniffing this upcoming draft for a potential youth option in the backfield?
