TAMPA, Fla. -- Canadian Antony Auclair has cracked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' opening-day roster.

The rookie tight end made the Buccaneer's 53-man roster Saturday as NFL teams made their final cuts.

The six-foot-five, 256-pound Auclair signed a three-year deal with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent after completing his collegiate career at Laval.

Auclair had three catches for 17 yards during the pre-season but also was featured singing O Canada during an episode of Hard Knocks.
