Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded 2021 seventh-round draft pick Grant Stuard and a seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to the Indianapolis Colts for a 2023 sixth-rounder.
Stuard was 2021's Mr. Irrelevant, but that didn't stop him from making the Buccaneers' initial 53-man roster last year. He turned out to be a pretty solid special teams player during his one season, but injuries limited his practice/in-game action during training camp and the preseason. That, combined with outstanding play from undrafted rookie Olakunle Fatukasi were the catalysts behind the trade.
Fatukasi is not a lock to make the roster, but his situation is certainly looking much better after the Stuard trade.
