3 Players to Watch at Training Camp, August 8

1. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick
The battle for the Buccaneers’ No. 2 quarterback job is heating up. Fitzpatrick had been working mostly with the Bucs’ third-team offense, but stepped in with the twos on Monday and had a strong practice. Could Fitzpatrick be taking the third-team reps because of his experience, while the younger Griffin carries a heavier workload to continue to develop? It will be interesting to see who gets more snaps on Friday when the Buccaneers open up the preseason. Don’t be surprised if it’s Griffin.

2. DT Chris Baker
The Buccaneers have used several different combinations along the defensive line so far during training camp, and many of the team’s defensive ends have lined up both inside and outside.
