Devin Culp Goes to Tampa Bay, Clearly a Husky Football Draft Destination

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just can't get enough University of Washington football players, treating Montlake as their personal farm system, this after deciding that two former Husky tight ends are even better than one.

On late Saturday afternoon, the Bucs took Devin Culp with the 246th selection of the NFL Draft in the seventh and final round in Detroit -- 11 picks from the end and unwanted Mr. Irrelevant status -- to give the Huskies 10 overall selections, which tied a modern-day school record. The 6-foot-4, 237-pound Culp will join a Tampa Bay roster that includes recent UW teammate and wide receiver Jalen McMillan, taken in the third round with the 92nd pick; his older teammate and fellow tight end Cade Otton, a fourth-round pick in 2022; another previous Husky teammate in edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, a first-round Bucs pick in 2021; plus defensive tackles Vita Vea and Greg Grimes, with Vea a first-rounder drafted by Tampa Bay in 2018.

Culp leaves the UW with 66 career catches for 711 yards and 4 touchdowns, admirable numbers considering he basically split time with fellow tight end Jack Westover, who wasn't drafted over the past three days but accepted a free-agent contract with his hometown Seattle Seahawks. It's a wonder the Bucs didn't go get Westover.
