Most NFL fans wouldn’t recognize Ryan Griffin’s name.
However, the largely unknown third-string quarterback may find himself as the Week one starter for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The former undrafted free agent has gained momentum with the Buccaneers since he joined the team in 2015. He was one of the best players throughout training camp last season and he made enough noise for some to suggest he could finally see some NFL action at quarterback.
There was hope heading into last season that Griffin could be the primary backup in 2017. Hopes were dashed almost immediately when Griffin went down with a shoulder injury during the first preseason game.
