TAMPA — The Bucs, seeking to improve their depth at receiver, Thursday signed Derel Walker, a college teammate of Mike Evans at Texas A&M who ranked among the Canadian Football League's top receivers the past two seasons.
Walker, 6 feet 2 and 185 pounds, finished second in the CFL in catches (109), receiving yards (1,589) and touchdowns (10) last season, his second with the Edmonton Eskimos. In his first year, he caught 89 passes for 1,110 yards and six scores, and was named the league's top rookie after helping Edmonton win the Grey Cup.
