Scouting report:

  • Sean Tucker wins with patience, footwork, and lateral agility. Tucker might not have the most explosive jumpcut, but when combined with these other attributes, it’s more than sufficient. Tucker is well suited for a zone-heavy run scheme. He’s at his best on outside zone and stretch runs where he can utilize his speed on cutbacks or beating defenders to the edge after building up some steam.
  • Tucker has decent vision. He can sometimes hesitate at the line, but it’s not a consistent issue. He’s patient in allowing his blocks to set up well before exploding upfield.
  • Tucker is a check-down option only in the passing game. He never crested 1.22 Yards per route run or a 56.2 PFF receiving grade. Tucker could be slotted into a committee backfield in the NFL as the early down complement to a pass-game specialist back.

Player Comp: Ronnie Hillman

Dynasty Outlook: The NFL told the dynasty community loudly how it valued Tucker as an NFL prospect during the draft. He completely fell out of the draft and signed as a UDFA with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tucker also had undisclosed medical concerns, so I won’t rule out that playing a part here. Lump his medical concerns with his UDFA status, and Tucker is only a late-round dynasty rookie draft target and taxi squad candidate. Tucker might not even make it through camp with the team, so tread lightly here.
