Scouting Report. player. LB. 48. Pick Analysis. Round 6. (202nd pick). Jack Cichy

Jack Cichy has a chance to grow his football legend as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He began as a walk-on at Wisconsin before earning a scholarship and captain status with the team. Unfortunately, he only played seven games his last two seasons at Wisconsin due to injury and missed the whole 2017 season.

However, if he’s able to return to the form he showed during his sophomore season, the Bucs could end up with a steal at the linebacker position.

Cichy is a natural leader and certainly has a coaching opportunity available to him somewhere if that’s the route he chooses to go after his playing career is over.

As he attempts to make up for lost time by hitting the weight room, the practice field and the new playbook, expect Cichy to make an immediate impact on special teams. He’ll work his tail off for his teammates and will immediately garner respect. It won’t be too long before he works his way into consistent snaps on defense as well.
