HARRISONBURG - Ever since the start of Rodney Landers' senior year, experts have puzzled over what position the James Madison quarterback might be moved to in the NFL. It turns out, he isn't moving at all.
At least not for now.
Landers has been invited to play quarterback at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' rookie mini-camp this weekend, his agent said Monday night. Landers plans to leave for Tampa on Thursday and practice with the Bucs on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
"That's the plan at the moment," agent David Sullivan said by phone from his Norfolk home. "Right now, Rodney does not have a contract. He has an offer from Tampa to come down and compete at the quarterback spot."
Landers, who did not return phone calls Monday, is one of at least four former Dukes who will be in NFL rookie mini-camps the next two weekends.
Defensive end J.D. Skolnitsky said Monday he has been invited to the Washington Redskins mini-camp this weekend. If the Redskins don't sign Skolnitsky to a contract after the three days of practice, he could accept an invitation from the New York Giants to attend their rookie camp the following week.

Nice to see he'll be given a shot at quarterback. He'd be good running a wildcat change-of-pace offense.
