Don’t read too much into the quarterbacks on the roster as the three quarterbacks that will (likely) be on the 53-man roster aren’t going to be taking part in the mini-camp so the coaching staff needs arms on the field for the sake of the other position players.
The other big takeaway from the roster is that is appears linebacker Jack Cichy will partake in the activities coming off two brutal injuries that derailed his final two seasons at Wisconsin.

It’ll be good to see the Buccaneers’ recent draft picks take to the field for the first time in red and pewter while also keeping an eye on potential diamonds in the rough like Cam Brate or Adam Humphries that may emerge as a solid contributor during the 2018 season.
