The Buccaneers’ Russell Shepard is a player that most fans, reporters, and coaches alike have overlooked throughout his professional career. Shepard has seen limited play during his years as a Buc, and was always thought of as a special teams ace. Now once again, the Bucs are going to enter a season with questionable depth at the receiver position.
The writers of Buc nation (including myself) have focused their time talking about players such as Adam Humphries, Donteea Dye, Louis Murphy, and fan favorite Kenny Bell. Yet there is another name that has failed to be mentioned quite as much… Russell Shepard.
