What Is The Appeal Of D.J. Hackett?

Everywhere I look, I see Bucs fans getting excited about D.J. Hackett and I have to wonder why. Hackett is essentially Michael Clayton but without the big-time blocking ability. He is big and has decent hands, and he can pretty much outjump anyone. But he is not fast, is constantly injured, and has not been very productive as a pro so far (about 1,400 yards in 4 years.) Seriously, I'm more optimistic that Antonio Bryant can make an impact than Hackett. Bryant has the ability to be a big play guy. There's nothing wrong with him physically; he's just a jackass. Hackett has only played in 33 games since 2004.

Everyone knows the Bucs need speed on the outside. They're already loaded with big guys who can catch across the middle: Clayton, Maurice Stovall, Paris Warren. There's some optimism that Chad Lucas can turn into a deep threat, but I'll wait for camp before I get too excited. Hackett would just be another one of those guys. When he's not on injured reserve, that is. Someone tell me if I'm missing something.
