    I believe it was Tim Tebow with Broncos in 2011, if looking at pure QB. Long time ago.

    However, trick question answer would be Jordan Reed. Played TE at end of college career and in NFL. Drafted from UF and last start as a TE was in 2020 with 49ers prior to retirement.

    Trey Burton also played/started after 2011 at non-QB position. Also out of football after 2020 with Colts.

    Franks was QB in NFL before switching to TE

    Excluded because he said started at QB in NFL. Reed never did that.

    But wasn't drafted out of UF :\

    Worth noting that Rex played more recently than Tebow did but last started in 2011 (versus 2012 for Tim). Rex was also offered a shot to re-join an NFL team in 2014, but declined.

    Knowing Kyle, he didn't just sit patiently while Brady was in the spotlight. Following a legend is a good thing for someone like Kyle. I have no doubt that he watched and learned and worked and did everything to get ready for any opportunity he might receive. I don't know if Kyle will have what it takes to thrive in the NFL, especially with the current emphasis on running QBs. But, I do know one thing. He will be as ready as humanly possible to take his shot.

    Bucs are looking to acquire either Baker Mayfield or Jacoby Brissett. If Trask starts it won't be at the beginning of the season

    Trask is the only QB the Bucs have on the roster currently. Competition for the starting spot can only help Trask.

    Neither of these guys are sure starters. Trask would still have a shot.

    Or maybe they need a fallback if he crashes and burns. If he doesn’t start, it’s kinda lame.

    This will be Kyle's 3rd year in the league, if it doesn't happen now it's not going to happen.

    Still wish he had been drafted by someone else.

    Bucs like to let qb’s go elsewhere to win Superbowls.

    Bucs will at least need a second QB for backup reasons. Whether or not he starts depends on who they pick up. So, I think worst case, Kyle will be the on-sideline backup and get some reps. Best case, he could become the starter. It's also possible an injury could land him on the field. Either way, it will be a promotion for him from his previous third-string status. Can't think of anyone I'd root for more than Kyle.

    Signed Baker. Looks like Trask will remain buried

    Best scenario for him. Let Baker start and be Baker. After he loses his expected 5 or 6 games. Trask will have no pressure as the starter for the rest of the year.

    There's no way Baker starts 17 games. Trask will get a chance to play

    Being behind Baker isn’t exactly buried. Baker should be a backup at this point unless a teams goal is to win 8-10 games and lose their first playoff game if they make it.

    Just hope when he plays he goes off for the Bucs like he did for us against KY and every subsequent game. He was amazing.
