While the Browns did draft Rucker in 08, he was waived by the team just a year later. Since then, he's spent his time toiling in obscurity, sometimes on the practice squads of the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars.
Rucker was an All-American tight end at Missouri in 2007. He ended his college career with over 200 receptions, 2175 yards, and 18 touchdowns.
Rucker is from St. Joseph where he attended Benton High School.
