Emeka Egbuka

Buccaneers signed No. 19 overall pick WR Emeka Egbuka to a four-year contract.

Egbuka gets $18.1 million on his rookie deal. The former Buckeye joins a receiving room that already features Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, and will have a chance to immediately take over in three-receiver sets in Josh Grizzard’s offense. Egbuka caught 205 passes during his career at Ohio State and broke out as a sophomore in 2022 when he caught 74 passes for 1,151 yards and 10 touchdowns. With a career slot rate of 73.2 percent, he’ll likely play a similar role in 2025, with a chance to see more work on the outside later in his career.
