Buccaneers have two former no. 1 high school prospects

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have two former no. 1 high school prospects on their roster, and neither one is actually any good. The two players: Da'Quan Bowers and Ronald Powell.

Every Bucs fan knows Bowers. The team's second-round pick in 2011, who looked like a potential steal at the time but turned out to be a limited NFL player. Despite some flashes of athletic and pass-rushing talent, his playing time was consistently limited, injuries always bothered him, and he never turned into any kind of consistent player. After his contract ran out he couldn't get back on the roster, though he was signed late last year as a backup defensive tackle.
