There will be competition at quarterback. Before the draft, the XFL assigned a quarterback to each of its eight teams. Though those quarterbacks are presumptive starters, their spots aren’t guaranteed. Six of the eight teams, including the Vipers, drafted another quarterback in the skill position phase of the draft Tuesday. There will be four players in Tampa Bay’s quarterback room: Aaron Murray, the quarterback assigned to the Vipers and a former Georgia and Plant High standout; former University of South Florida star Quinton Flowers; Taylor Cornelius, who started as a fifth-year senior at Oklahoma State last season; and Vincent Testaverde Jr., the son of former NFL quarterback Vinny Testaverde and graduate of Jesuit High School in Tampa. (Testaverde Jr. played in the Bucs preseason finale in August.) Though Tampa Bay announced Flowers as a running back, Trestman made it clear that he will get reps at quarterback. “We couldn’t pass up Flowers,” he said. “He’s a three-way threat, but he is a quarterback first. He’s really grown as a running back — pass protection, physicality, running the football, catching it — he can do it all.” A crowded quarterback room is a good problem to have, Trestman said. “Aaron’s not getting every rep,” he said. “He’s going to feel competition, and that should just make him better.” Edited October 17, 2019 by Vivadiscordia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we have Pirates, Lightning, and Rays, but not sure about Vipers. I remember occasionally seeing snakes, but more Lizards. Why weren't we the Tampa Bay Lizard Swarm? Tampa Bay Manatee? The Tampa Bay Sand? Mangroves? Drawing a blank. Vipers it is! Rattlesnakes are vipers. So yes, there are plenty of Vipers in the Tampa Bay area. " Rattlesnake, any of 33 species of venomous New World vipers characterized by a segmented rattle at the tip of the tail that produces a buzzing sound when vibrated." https://www.britannica.com/animal/rattlesnake Edited October 17, 2019 by Apis Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they played well for USF does not mean they should get a tryout. The scouts do miss people but in today’s football world it is pretty rare.

Maybe he still gets an undrated look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
