The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are evaluating rookie receiver Ted Hurst during their mandatory minicamp on June 17, 2026. Hurst, a third-round draft pick, is looking to fill the role left by Mike Evans, who recently signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Standing 6'4", Hurst brings size and downfield speed, fitting into the Buccaneers' revamped receiving corps alongside Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. His primary position as the "X" receiver could allow for immediate contributions, provided he builds chemistry with quarterback Baker Mayfield. Minicamp will be essential for Hurst to prove his capabilities in contested situations and solidify his spot on the offense.
