Before Tom Brady signed with the Buccaneers, some early mock drafts had Tampa Bay taking a quarterback in round one of the 2020 NFL draft. But with Brady on board, the team’s priorities shifted and they went with an offensive tackle in round one in Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs.
But the Bucs had other rounds to find an eventual successor to Brady, but came away from the weekend without drafting another signal-caller. Bruce Arians said there was a reason the team didn’t draft a developmental QB, because they planned to sign an undrafted one with plenty of upside.
That quarterback turned out to be Reid Sinnett out of the University of San Diego. The redshirt senior stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 225 pounds, so sounds like the perfect Bruce Arians quarterback. In 12 games last season, Sinnett threw for 3,538 yards, 32 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
Sinnett was a finance major and was also recruited by Ivy League schools (Harvard, Penn, Yale) as well as Kansas.
Check out highlights below from Sinnett’s win over Harvard last year, where he threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns.
