2014 NFL Draft results: Tampa Bay Bucs sign Chaz Sutton as free agent
 

Is Chaz Sutton a steal as an undrafted free agent?

 

 

The Tampa Bay Bucs have picked up Chaz Sutton as a free agent. The Bucs may have gotten a steal in Sutton, who has unrealized physical upside.

Sutton is coming off a somewhat disappointing year. After producing several big plays as a situational pass rusher in 2012, Sutton moved into a starting role opposite Jadeveon Clowney with the departure of Devin Taylor. Sutton was expected to be the guy who would benefit from the attention to Clowney. That guy ended up being Kelcy Quarles, though, with Sutton having a disappointing season in which his deficiencies defending the run were particularly exposed.

 

Sutton's problem? Whereas he excelled in beating interior linemen out of Carolina's "rabbit" package (a situational pass-rushing look in which the interior defensive linemen are replaced by speedier reserve ends) in 2012, the lack of refinement in his game was exposed as the starter in 2013. Sutton has the physical tools, but his hand work undermined his ability to set the edge against the run, and his limited array of pass rush moves hurt him against elite tackles.

The good news for the Bucs is that Sutton isn't a bad investment at all as a free agent. He's not someone who's going to be able to help right away, but as said, the physical tools are there. With the right coaching, he has the potential to be a productive cog in an end rotation.

I particularly liked the last line of the sentence in the article you posted. :)

Nicholas Albert Giaquinto (born April 4, 1955 in Bridgeport, Connecticut) is a former American football running back in the National Football League for the Miami Dolphins and the Washington Redskins, where head coach Joe Gibbs nicknamed him "The Trashman" for his ability to fill many roles on the team.

“It's not over for Lache,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said. “I'm sure somebody will get a look at him and it could be us later on. But we felt like we went with the three running backs who did the best. ... Lache had his big-play abilities and he's a good running back.”

But he also struggled in the pass game, despite his turning a short pass into an 80-yard touchdown against Tampa Bay in the preseason finale. He routinely was beaten in coverage during training camp practices.

South Carolina DE Chaz Sutton "had a terrific day" at Wednesday's pro day, according to draft insider Tony Pauline.

"Most on hand felt Sutton looked better than [Jadeveon] Clowney in linebacker drills," Pauline observed. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound Sutton clocked a 4.66-4.67 forty with a 1.69 ten-yard split. He added 27 reps on the bench, and leaped 35.5 inches in the vertical and 9-8 in the broad jump. "I graded the senior as a potential fourth round pick in August and he fell off the board after a terrible season," Pauline wrote. "I'm told one of the biggest reasons for not only Sutton's drop off but Clowney's as well, was the loss of defensive line coach Brad Lawing, who moved south to become the assistant head coach/defensive line coach at Florida. Sources say Lawing has given positive reviews for both Sutton and Clowney to any NFL personnel people who have asked." Apr 2 - 10:45 PM

Interesting, he has great measurables but I wonder why he got cut?  And, he didn't make their PS.

players don't make the PS, they sign with it.  You don't jsut get to pull them back on it.

No, you can't force a player onto your PS.

But I suspect that very darned few, if offered the job, say "Nah, I'd rather go work for UPS", either.

If he's not on a PS, the odds are pretty good that it's because he wasn't offered a spot.
