Kyle Trask

A 2021 second-round pick, Trask spent the last two years watching Tom Brady before getting the chance this summer to compete with Baker Mayfield for a starting job. The Bucs settled on Mayfield as the Week 1 starter after two weeks of preseason action, but Trask still stands a decent chance to make starts at some point this year. The 6-5 Trask is at least four inches taller than Mayfield, who has a similarly large advantage when it comes to experience -- Trask has nine NFL pass attempts to his name, all of which came in Week 18 last season. While not particularly mobile, Trask was excellent in the pocket at Florida with a 67.9 percent completion rate and 69/15 TD/INT, highlighted by 4,283 yards and 43 TDs his senior year. He has a strong arm, with touch and accuracy to stretch the field. The Bucs have quality receiving options and hired first-time coordinator Dave Canales, a long-time Seattle assistant who last year coached quarterbacks. Trask has untapped potential, whereas the 28-year-old Mayfield is a known quantity.
