Quarterback Vincent Testaverde, whose father was the No. 1 pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1987, signed with the Bucs.
The younger Testaverde started his college career at Texas Tech and then moved on to his father’s alma mater, Miami, before ending up at Albany.
In one season with the Great Danes, he started eight games and threw for 1,714 yards and 11 touchdowns while completing 53.4 percent of his passes.
Testaverde tried out with the Buccaneers at rookie minicamp in May, and his addition comes after rookie Nick Fitzgerald was put on the active/non-football injury list with a hamstring injury to start training camp.
The Bucs drafted the elder Testaverde after he won the Heisman Trophy with the Hurricanes. He spent the first six seasons (1987-92) of his 21-year career there, also playing for the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers before retiring at age 44.
