Draft Result

Drafted in the 2009 Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 1st round with the #17 pick.
With Raheem Morris having Kansas St connections this is an ideal situation for Freeman. He has a lot of talent but will not be ready to play right away. Considering the army of quarterbacks on the roster the Bucs should not have to rush him.
