Grothe works out for BUCS today.

You guys really need to relax on this whole Grothe being the next Bucs QB stuff.  Read the following portion of a recent article from Jim Flynn at PewterReport.com (yes I got permission to post this):

The quarterback to keep an eye on is South Florida's Matt Grothe, who took part in the Bulls' pro day workout on Tuesday and is scheduled to visit One Buccaneer Place for a private workout on April 8.

The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Grothe still is recovering from a torn ACL he sustained in September, which cut his collegiate playing career short. Some NFL coaches and scouts were impressed by the fact that Grothe was able to take part in every drill at the pro day workout considering the severity of his knee injury and the long rehab process associated with it. He completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 8,669 yards and tossed 52 touchdowns and 44 interceptions at USF. The Bulls also utilized his athleticism and mobility by having him rush the ball 545 times for 2,206 yards and 23 touchdowns.

Tampa Bay typically brings in two quarterbacks to help run its rookie mini-camps. Some of the past quarterbacks have included USF QB Pat Julmiste and Nebraska QBs Sam Keller and Joe Ganz, among others.

The Bucs likely will bring four quarterbacks to training camp this year, and if Leftwich isn't part of the mix, one of the team's rookie mini-camp quarterbacks could stand a decent chance of taking part in Tampa Bay's training camp and preseason.

Grothe could be deemed a feel-good story in the Tampa Bay community since he grew up in Lakeland and played a significant role in USF's recent success. Grothe is a player many believe is destined for the Canadian Football League, but if his private workout with the Bucs goes well he may have to put the CFL on hold for an opportunity, however brief it might be, with Tampa Bay in the NFL.

So if he's brought in, it's to practice with the team and help with training camp, etc...  You won't see him out there on Sundays.

That makes sense ... Julmiste was there for a Rookie camp also. Couldn't imagine BUCS setting himn up with a helmet, etc. for a workout.

We'll know more within 2 weeks.

;D

He will get a rookie camp invite. Getting a training camp invite is a stretch. WE ALL HOPE HE MAKES IT TO THE NFL. But the odds against him is huge.

Good luck to Matt.  Flip, keep us posted!
