Buccaneers host former Alabama running back leading up to 2022 NFL Draft

Former Alabama Crimson Tide RB Brian Robinson visits the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before the NFL Draft.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to be in search of adding another RB to their roster for the 2022 NFL season. Heading into free agency, the Bucs were down to one running back under contract, Ke'Shawn Vaughn. 

Since then, the Bucs signed workhorse Leonard Fournette to a 3 yr./$21 million contract and veteran Giovani Bernard to a one-year deal. The odd man out that will not be returning to the Bucs this upcoming season is Ronald Jones III, who ended up signing with the Kansas City Chiefs during free agency.

It is very likely the Bucs will try to add a running back in this year's deep NFL Draft running back class. We have already seen the team host other RBs in the class, however, they hosted another former SEC back this week.

Bama RB Brian Robinson Jr. is visiting the #Bucs today on a top-30 visit, per source.

Robinson was a 1st-Team All-SEC performer for the Tide en route to 1343 rushing yards/14 TDs and another 296/2 through the air.

Robinson may not be the best back in the class, but his high upside and blocking ability will help with depth at the position as well as giving him the opportunity to move his way up the roster following the upcoming season.
