Summer is here, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary
Damon Wilson is listed by some outlets and considered to be an edge, but I think that may be a stretch based on what I saw on film from an athleticism standpoint. He struggles to shed blocks when not in extended plays, but he is still very quick for his size and has power hands. What he does well to make up for the lack of athleticism is the raw power he generates to drive blockers back. He also showcases some awareness to not overcommit on plays, and it lets him make an impact in the run game. There is a lot to like with him, but some small things make a big impact in terms of where he will rank for me.
