I watched Stovall play at Notre Dame last year, and let me tell you; he always makes the tough catches. Brady Quinn lofted seemingly uncatchable balls all over the defensive backfield, but every time one looked like it might miss, Stovall would leap up and pick it down with one hand. He'd be a great slot guy for the Bucs, and down the road could be involved in one of the NFL's best WR combos, combined with Clayton.

The Bucs got a steal in the late 3rd round with Mo Stovall. The guy has a HIGH ceiling, and one can only imagine how his career would've been had he played under Charlie Weis for his entire career.

He has outstanding body control, great instincts, soft hands, tremendous physicality, and very good downfield blocking skills. He won't be a burner, but he's a redzone target, and he has no problems going across the middle.

With the emergence of Chris Simms and Michael Clayton along with the REemergence of Joey Galloway, Stovall should make an already dangerous passing attack moreso. Throw in Cadillac, and you've got a very balanced offense that makes the defense pick its poison.
