Jordan Jefferson, QB da LSU |
Tra le firme più interessanti, quella del QB Jefferson Jordan, da LSU, che dopo aver impressionato in maniera positiva il coaching staff di Tampa Bay nel corso del minicamp della scorsa settimana, ha firmato il contratto che lo lega ai Bucs.
Queste le parole di coach Schiano, dal TB Times, sull'ex QB di LSU:
"He's an athletic guy who has a strong arm," Schiano said. "We wanted to gauge his development as a quarterback. I thought he made consistent improvement all weekend. There's a lot of upside there, so I think we would like to have a chance to work with him."
Jefferson l'anno scorso venne sospeso per quattro partite, dopo essere rimasto coinvolto in una rissa; ad ogni modo, il ragazzo pare avere le idee abbastanza chiare, sul suo futuro:
"I just want to prove that I'm a very talented player," he said. "I played at LSU for a large (number) of games. I had a very strong winning percentage there. At the same time, I'm not where I want to be. But I'm a competitor, and I can be the pro style quarterback that Tampa Bay wants me to be."
Tra le altre firme, da segnalare quella di un veterano, il CB Roberson, già visto a Tampa Bay nel corso della stagione 2009:
"One thing I knew was I couldn't take me and Coach Schiano's relationship for granted," Roberson said. "I knew I was going to have to come in here and prove myself".
