“He played guard mostly at UTEP but he did kick out and play some left tackle in a pinch and did a pretty good job there,” stated Bucs Director of Player Personnel Mike Biehl. “He just kind of fits the mold of a lineman that we have around here – smart, tough, dependable. He plays the game the right way. We think he has the versatility to potentially play center, too. He took some snaps at that spot at his Pro Day. He’s just a good late-round pick that we think has a good chance to make it and contribute, and be a part of our offensive line room.”
Look for Klein to push to make the 53-man roster and provide quality depth to the Buccaneers offensive line.
