Prompt in elevating Sterling Shepard to the 53-man roster after showcasing immediate chemistry with his Pro Bowl quarterback, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to know that the two Oklahoma grads would connect on a touchdown sooner or later. Picking primetime on the Atlanta Falcons’ home turf as his preferred atmosphere, Shepard matches his quarterback’s energy on a designed rollout towards the field’s right, creating just enough separation to snag his first-ever touchdown in Buccaneer colors. Consistent in creating a big play of some type over his first two true appearances, Shepard turned in a one-catch, four-yard, one-touchdown effort in a high-octane 36-30 loss on Oct. 3, 2024.
