Drafted as potential Tom Brady successor, Kyle Trask's preseason debut hints at waiting game ahead

TAMPA, Fla. — The size and experience of the current Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback room is probably not lost on rookie Kyle Trask.

Saturday evening at Raymond James Stadium was a practice in patience for the quarterback out of Florida, whose selection with the last pick of the second round of the NFL draft prompted speculation he could be Tom Brady's successor. As Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians funneled through Brady, then backup Blaine Gabbert, and then later third-stringer Ryan Griffin in a 19-14 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Trask waited to take his first snaps in an NFL game.
