The Bucs’ first pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is coming into a critical year. After two forgettable years, defensive tackle Logan Hall has one foot in “bust” territory. For his career, Hall has just three sacks, 34 total pressures and seven tackles for a loss. He even appears to have gotten worse as a tackler, missing four in 2023 after missing none in 2022.

Though the Bucs realized very quickly they needed hedge their bets with Hall by drafting Kancey last year, Hall does have a narrow window in which to get his NFL career on track. At minimum, he has to find a niche, at least one thing on which to hang his hat. It worked for the second-most tenured Buccaneer on the roster, William Gholston.

Like Hall, Gholston was tweener coming out of college. Too small to be a true defensive tackle but too big and slow to be an edge rusher.
