TAMPA, Fla. — While the creamsicle jerseys and Bucco Bruce helmets won’t be recycled for a regular-season game until at least 2023, the Bucs still might go retro this fall.
After years of dormancy, the fullback might — just might — resurface in the Tampa Bay offense.
We saw it Saturday night against the Dolphins, on more than one play. Quarterback directly under center, tailback deep in the backfield, and 6-foot-5, 265-pound rookie tight end Ko Kieft lodged in between. It was Kieft — lifelong wrestler and roughneck — helping provide the push on Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s 1-yard scoring surge in the second quarter.
