Buccaneers tab QB Kyle Trask as Brady’s potential successor

<p>TAMPA, Fla. &mdash; The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Kyle Trask in the second round of the NFL draft Friday night and will groom the Florida quarterback to potentially become Tom Brady’s successor.</p>
<p>With all 22 starters returning from last season, the Super Bowl champions are drafting players who are not expected to fill significant roles right away.</p>
<p>Brady, coming off winning a seventh NFL title in his first season with Tampa Bay, turns 44 in August. He has said he’d like to play at least until he’s 45.</p>
<p>That gives Trask, the 64th selection overall, plenty of time to learn from Brady and backup Ryan Griffin, the only other quarterback currently on the roster. </p>
<p>The Bucs selected Washington linebacker Joe Tryon with the last pick of Thursday’s opening round, adding depth behind edge rushers Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul.</p>
