Don't let his modest preseason stats fool you: Antony Auclair, the undrafted rookie tight end from Canada is making a strong case to stick around on the Bucs' 53-man roster this season.
"I'm definitely impressed with both rookies," first-year tight ends coach Ben Steele said. "Auclair and O.J. (Howard) obviously both have made huge strides with the gap from coming from college, especially from Canada. Without a doubt, (Auclair) is one of those guys that just works super-hard. He's a natural learner, a football junkie and that helps with the transition. He still has a lot of room for improvement as everybody does in camp.
