TAMPA, Fla. — For Kyle Trask, patience has paid off before. The Bucs’ third-string quarterback waited seven years, through his high school career and into his redshirt junior season at the University of Florida before he got tabbed to be a starter. Now, with one regular-season game remaining in his second season in the NFL, Trask may suit up and actually get a chance to take a snap Sunday in Atlanta.
With the fourth seed in the NFC and home field for the wild-card round of the playoffs already locked up, the Bucs (8-8) have nothing but a winning record to play for. While Todd Bowles confirmed that he will play his starters, including quarterback Tom Brady, against the Falcons, the coach said Trask will have “a good chance of dressing.”
In the face of fan impatience to see what their 2021 second-round draft pick can do, Trask knows where he stands.
