Erik Lorig - RB - Buccaneers

The Bucs have moved Erik Lorig to fullback on a permanent basis.

A seventh-round pick in the 2010 draft, Lorig dabbled at both defensive end and tight end as a rookie. The Bucs have one of the fullest fullback depth charts in the league, with Earnest Graham and Rendrick Taylor also at the position. Lorig will have to show special teams value to make the 2011 roster.

Erik Lorig - RB - Buccaneers

Rookie Erik Lorig will get the start at fullback in place of injured Earnest Graham (hamstring) for the Buccaneers in Week 9.

The converted defensive end does not have a track record at fullback, so it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the position. He has the size and skill-set to catch some balls out of the backfield, but he isn't a factor in fantasy.

Erik Lorig - RB - Buccaneers

Bucs signed seventh-round DE Erik Lorig to a four-year contract.

Lorig has been sidelined in spring practices with a pectoral injury. Coach Raheem Morris has referred to him as a "luxury player," as he's capable of playing both tight end and defensive end. The Bucs expect him to be healthy and competing for a roster spot in training camp.

Erik Lorig - RB - Buccaneers

The Bucs haven't ruled out the possibility of using seventh-round DE Erik Lorig at tight end.

Lorig was a Parade All-American tight end in high school and played the position as a freshman at Stanford. Listed at 6'4/281 now, he'd be a blocker. Versatility can only help Lorig's chances of making the team, although he'll have to recover from a pectoral injury first.

Erik Lorig - RB - Buccaneers

Bucs seventh-round pick Erik Lorig is not participating in minicamp due to a pectoral injury.

Lorig, a defensive end out of Stanford, obviously needs to get healthy to have any shot of making the team. He could spend the year on injured reserve.
