1. G Ali Marpet
Marpet, who signed his rookie contract on Thursday, met with media members after the conclusion of the Bucs' final OTA practice. When he stepped in front of the cameras, he was the last player to walk off the practice field. Marpet spent an extra half hour after practice working with coaches before calling it a day.
2. RB Bobby Rainey
Last week it was Doug Martin that caught our eye. This week, a different running back stood out. While Martin and Charles Sims were used often in the screen game, Bobby Rainey ran a few of the deeper routes out of the backfield. Rainey, Martin and Sims are all battling to be the Bucs' No. 1 running back, and Rainey's ability to catch the ball out of the backfield is helping his case.
3. CB Isaiah Frey
There is a competition brewing for the No. 3 corner spot, and Isaiah Frey is right in the thick of things. He and Leonard Johnson were rotating in at the slot position with the first team, with Johnthan Banks and Alterraun Verner playing on the outside. Sterling Moore, who was signed as a free agent this spring, worked primarily with the second group. Frey has been working with the first team since the start of OTAs.
4. TE Luke Stocker
Stocker will have to battle with Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Brandon Myers for playing time, but he's making a strong case for himself thus far. Without pads on, it's impossible to measure a tight end's blocking ability, but Stocker looked fluid on Thursday catching passes and running routes.
