If anyone was taken by surprise when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers elected to draft a quarterback, it wasn t Tom Brady.
Bruce Arians said Brady had been kept in the loop about the team s plan to add another signal-caller to the roster, and he knew that the team was interested in Florida s Kyle Trask, according to Peter Schrager of Fox Sports.
The potential future of the franchise, Trask was drafted by the Bucs in the second round on Friday at No. 64 overall.
Through 28 career games with the Gators, Trask threw for 7,386 yards and 69 touchdowns, but the bulk of his production came in 2020 when he was one of the most productive quarterback in FBS play. His 4,283 yards ranked second to Alabama s Mac Jones who went to the New England Patriots at No. 15 overall though he led with 43 touchdowns in 2020.
