The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an underrated prospect on their radar heading into the 2024 NFL draft.
Mercer defensive back Tavion McCarthy is starting to create some buzz for himself as this year’s draft approaches, and the Bucs are among the teams who have shown interest in him, McCarthy recently told NFL insider Justin Melo.
McCarthy’s impressive performance at his recent pro day workout should be turning some heads throughout the league, and it won’t be surprising if he hears his name called at some point on draft weekend.
Considering their interest, the Bucs could be the team that lands him as a developmental prospect for their secondary.
