Kyle Trask Makes Sense for the Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have experienced only a year of Tom Brady, and things went pretty well. But with an eye on their post-Brady life, the Bucs drafted Kyle Trask 64th overall on Friday night.
Trask has a breakout campaign with the Florida Gators in 2020, throwing for 4,283 yards and 43 touchdowns in just 12 games. PFF credited him with 41 big-time throws, which led the country as he spearheaded a loaded Gators offense.
