Vincent Testaverde, the son of former Tampa Bay quarterback Vinny Testaverde, will try out for the Buccaneers during the team’s rookie minicamp.
His college coach at Albany, Greg Gattuso, made the announcement on Twitter.
The minicamp will be held May 10-11. Testaverde also took part in the Buccaneers’ local pro day workout.
The elder Testaverde, now 55, played at Miami, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1986. He was the No. 1 overall selection in the 1987 draft.
His son didn’t have the same collegiate success after leaving Jesuit High School in Tampa. He played the 2014 season as a walk-on at Texas Tech, appearing in one game, then transferred to Miami. He sat out a year and didn’t play the following season, then transferred to Albany.
At Albany, transfer rules forced him to sit out the 2017 season, and in his one season for the Great Danes, he threw for 1,714 yards and 11 touchdowns.
