Buccaneers Add Depth at Linebacker, Sign Former USF Star Ben Moffitt

With Barrett Ruud still questionable for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, the Tampa Bay Buccanneers have added depth at the linebacker position. On Tuesday, the Bucs signed former University of South Florida standout Ben Moffitt to the practice squad. Moffitt was with the Houston Texans during the preseason, but was released during final cuts.

It's good to see the former Bull get another opportunity to make it in the NFL. I'm not completely convinced Moffitt has the speed to make it on Sundays, but I'm glad he's getting another shot.

He was great during his senior year and made a bunch of big plays, but was never much of a pro prospect. Due to his hard work ethic, I think he could make a roster, but I’m not sure he would ever be an every down player.
