The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday named former Seahawks scouting executive Eric Stokes the director of college scouting Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune reports. Stokes, a Nebraska product, brings 14 years of NFL playing and scouting experience to the organization. He most recently worked as the Seahawks' assistant director of college scouting from 2010-11, a period in which he played a role in drafting standouts such as safety Earl Thomas (first-round, 2010), safety Kam Chancellor (fifth-round, 2010), linebacker K.J. Wright (fourth-round, 2011) and cornerback Richard Sherman (fifth-round, 2011). Stokes spent seven seasons as a Seahawks area scout and three as an assistant in the pro personnel department.
