The Bucs have started signing their draft picks ahead of rookie minicamp.
On the heels of rookie minicamp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced they have signed two of their seven draft picks to their rookie deals. While there is no immediate rush to do so, with the rookie wage scale that went into place in 2011 the deals are pretty standard for each draft slot and come to getehr pretty quickly.
The 5'9, 192 pound back figures to contribute in a wide variety of roles in the Bucs offense. New offensive coordinator Liam Coen called him a dynamic back that can be utilized in a variety of ways. Running back coach Skip Peete echoed those sentiments calling him a potential three-down back while mentioning him in the same breath as Tony Pollard.
As for Klien, the big, broad-shouldered, tough-nosed kid out of UTEP should fit right in with the Bucs' current offensive line room. Here is what I wrote about him after he was drafted."Kline has the size and length team covert for an interior lineman. He excels in zone, has a tremendous football IQ, displays great technique and footwork, and is an efficient moving in space climbing to the next level and pulling. Looks to knock someone’s head off.
