The tight end room has been a talented one for the Buccaneers in recent years.
From 2017-2019, Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard led the way, while Antony Auclair, Tanner Hudson and Codey McElroy were among those who provided valuable depth.
The position group reached another level in 2020, though, when Rob Gronkowski came out of retirement to join Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. Since then, Gronkowski and Brate have been the top two on the depth chart, with Howard—when healthy—sliding into a depth role.
Now, the tight end position might look very different for the Bucs heading into 2022.
