Buccaneers land running back in Daniel Jeremiah’s Mock Draft
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a stunning choice in this Mock. Deciding to address their subpar rushing attack in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah took an unusual route for his pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his first NFL Mock Draft of 2019.
Jeremiah had Tampa Bay selecting Alabama running back Josh Jacobs with the fifth overall pick. Jacobs had a tremendous junior season for the Crimson Tide. He rushed for 640 yards, scoring 11 touchdowns on 5.3 YPC. He also caught 20 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
Although Alabama used multiple backs in 2018, Jacobs stood out. He quickly rose to become one of the top running back prospects in the 2019 Draft.
