TAMPA, Fla. — Kyle Trask’s two preseason performances have generated mixed results, but the second-year quarterback received an endorsement Wednesday from Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich.
Leftwich said he thinks Trask has been “improving drastically” day-to-day, especially with positional nuances that aren’t graded by reporters or other observers. Protecting the football — Trask has fumbled three times, losing one, and thrown two interceptions this preseason — remains an obvious area for growth.
But Leftwich said Trask is “improving on things that you guys can’t notice.” Plus, Leftwich added, everything looks different when analyzed alongside the quarterback atop the Bucs’ depth chart.
