TAMPA, Fla. — If you’re into symbolism, Kyle Trask was the quarterback selected to take the first rep at the podium when the Bucs’ voluntary workout program began Monday.
Standing tall in the interview room, the former Florida star appeared comfortable surveying the surroundings and admitted how much he was embracing the chance to compete with Baker Mayfield for the starting job.
It certainly was different than the previous two seasons when Trask was tucked away as the quiet understudy to Tom Brady and a distant No. 3 on the depth chart behind backup Blaine Gabbert.
