With the 95th pick, the Buccaneers select Notre Dame tackle Robert Hainsey

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Florida quarterback Kyle Trask with the 64th pick earlier in Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft. In Round 3, the Bucs used their 95th pick in the draft on Notre Dame offensive tackle Robert Hainsey.
