Going into training camp, one of the big position battles was the slot receiver position. Well that battle came to an end today as coach Koetter named Adam Humphries the slot Wr going forward. Humphries has overcome a lot of obstacles as he was an undrafted signing last off-season, and went on to be a big part of this team as the season went on. He just continues to get better with his route running and might have the best hands on the team which allows him to be a consistent target for Jameis Winston. Coach Koetter calls him Mr. consistency and said he is going to be a big piece of this offense for the upcoming season.
I like Koetter ending the speculation early and recognizing Humphries as the slot Wr as it allows the offense to build chemistry. Humphries is one of the hardest workers on the team and is being awarded as he should be, hopefully he can be a Wes Welker type for this team, and continue to be money on third down. I know Bucs fans were hoping last year's 5th round pick Kenny Bell was going to be ready to take that spot but he is just not there yet. Doesn't mean Bell wont play as he is still valuable on special teams and can be used as a rotational wideout on the outside and inside depending on matchups. Now the wide receiver battle shifts to the 4th through 6th spots which means some good players will be let go."Definition of a consistent player." -HC Koetter names Adam Humphries WR3— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@TBBuccaneers) August 1, 2016
