Bucs’ UDFA Eric Rivers Eyes Slot Role

Published May 5, 2026 · Updated May 5, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Eric Rivers, the Bucs’ most likely UDFA, could make the roster as a developmental slot receiver thanks to his vertical speed and special‑team potential.

Rivers’ 1,166‑yard, 12‑TD season at FIU and efficient stint at Georgia Tech show he can stretch the field from the slot. With Chris Godwin Jr. locked in the starting slot, Rivers would compete with Kameron Johnson and Garrett Greene for a depth or developmental spot. If he can contribute on special teams and deliver vertical play, he could win a back‑end WR5 or WR6 job as Tampa Bay’s depth strategy shifts toward role‑based players. djcc.club
