Former FCS All-American shining in Bucs' training camp
· Yahoo Sports
Houston turned in one of his best performances yet during the Buccaneers' second padded practice, consistently making plays while displaying the physicality and dependable hands that have helped him quietly put together an impressive training camp. While much of the attention has gone to rookies Ted Hurst and Tez Johnson, Houston has steadily made himself noticed with productive reps and an ability to capitalize on every opportunity.

That's especially important given the competition he's facing. The Buccaneers boast one of the deepest receiver groups in the league. Chris Godwin Jr headlines the room, while Emeka Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, Ted Hurst, and Tez Johnson have all generated buzz throughout camp. With so much talent competing for snaps, every practice rep carries added significance for players further down the depth chart.
The former Western Illinois standout has flashed reliable hands, toughness over the middle, and the willingness to battle through contact. He's consistently finished catches in traffic and shown the type of consistency coaches look for when evaluating the back end of the roster. Splash plays may generate headlines, but Houston has built momentum by taking advantage of increased opportunities during team drills. Special teams could also factor into his chances of sticking around.
Players competing for the final roster spots often need to contribute in multiple phases, and Houston's versatility only strengthens his value.
The battle for Tampa Bay's final receiver spots is far from decided, but Houston has made one thing clear through the first week of camp: he isn't going away quietly. If he continues making himself noticed the way he has in padded practices, the Buccaneers will have another difficult roster decision to make before the regular season begins.
