Postgame – Tampa Bay

QB Skylar Thompson (transcribed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

(On how the game went for him) – “Man, I had a lot of fun tonight. Obviously, you want to come out on the other end of the scoreboard, but I had a lot of fun tonight. I thought it was a great rep for me, coming into the game and not starting, kind of getting a rep at that – getting into the flow of the game, getting into the rhythm of the game. I thought that was a great opportunity for me tonight. I don’t know, I had a lot of fun. That sums up everything, kind of, for me tonight, a little bit.”

(On the next two days before rosters are cut down) – “I’m going to spend time with my fiancée and chill, kind of relax. I’ve really been going at it hard these past couple of weeks. We get a little rest time here before we’ve got a week of practice, and then I’m getting ready for Week 1. I’m just going to relax. I feel like I’ve left everything on the table, and I have no regrets.”

(On how he feels he’s grown throughout this preseason) – “I think that’s the thing, when I said that I had a lot of fun tonight – there [were] a lot of plays tonight [where] I felt growth and I felt the reward of putting time into getting better. I think everyone can relate in every aspect of life, when you put time into something and feel the results and feel that pay off, it’s a pretty cool thing. This whole camp, my mindset has been the same, I’ve just been really focused on the right things and just trying to get better each and every day and just trusting that – even when it doesn’t feel like it, still trusting it and putting in the work to do so.”

(On if he’s worried about how the new roster rules allowing quarterbacks to be elevated every game affects his roster status) – “To be honest with you, I didn’t put any thought into anything. What good is that going to do for me, you know? Like I said, my mind has been in the right spot coming into this camp: it’s all been, ‘I’m going to make this roster.’ That wasn’t even a question for me. Like I said, I feel like I’ve put my best foot forward and left it all on the table. At the end of the day, you’ve got to control what you can control and everything else will take care of itself. When you do the right things and your mind is in the right spot, good things happen, regardless of whatever that is. That’s been my focus and my mindset.”
