The famous Ko Kieft is an American football tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. He played college football at Minnesota.
Doing the dirty work in the trenches is often an unacknowledged endeavor as skill players typically occupy the headlines with splash plays. However, the production of Buccaneers’ first-year player Ko Kieft against the Colts deserves recognition. In the preseason finale at Lucas Oil Stadium, Kieft spearheaded the rushing attack.
As a result, the Buccaneers signed Kyle Rudolph right before training camp, after they had already drafted Cade Otton and Ko Kieft in the fourth and sixth rounds respectively in this year’s NFL Draft.
Otton is seen as an all-around tight end when it comes to his receiving and blocking ability, while Kieft is known primarily as a blocking specialist. That being the case, it was a bit of a mystery how Kieft would fit into this offense should he make the team.
