Bauer Sharp Makes His Presence Felt
August 14th, 2026
Rookie TE Bauer Sharp.
Joe counted two impressive special teams tackles from Bucs rookie tight end Bauer Sharp and a power finish to a run after a catch.
Joe has zero doubt the seventh-round pick out of Louisiana State University will make Tampa Bay’s 53-man roster. He’s already flashed more special teams talent than fellow tight end Devin Culp. And that’s where the Bucs need help — and ability.
Todd Bowles told Joe on Wednesday that he was looking tonight for a player to make a name for himself covering kicks. That was Sharp. One one tackle, he completely sacrificed his body.
Through three quarters, Sharp had three receptions for 17 yards. One finished with him running over a defender with his head lowered.
Sharp seems to epitomize the new attitude the Bucs are seeking.

Agreed. Move him up to TE2 as long as his blocking is good too.

If Sharp can learn to block he would be even better.

Sharp speed that way catch from Daniels in the flat, but other than that looked good.
Daniels is the Truth by the way. We should just let Baker go after this season and ride with Daniels in the cheap.
What a freakin cannon that dude has!

Sharp did have that drop on that easy catch in the flat from Daniels, but other than that looked good.
Daniels is the Truth by the way. We should just let Baker walk after this season and ride with Daniels on the cheap.
What a freakin cannon that dude has!

One of his “ catches” was because he terribly whiffed on the WR hitch and almost got the WR killed. The ball popped up into his hands. I didn’t see blocking. Actually thought Culps blocking was better and catch was better.

I said when he was drafted he would make the team and be a contributor. I saw him in college thought he had talent to do a lot more on the field. Excited to see these draft picks play well tonight.

It was awesome how he didn’t let the dropped passes bother him at all. That’s exactly what we need. Go Bucs!
