The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are projected to target Miami Hurricanes quarterback Darian Mensah in the upcoming 2027 NFL Draft, according to Fansided's latest mock draft. Mensah, who set Duke's single-season passing record before transferring, has been noted for his impressive arm talent and mobility. As the Buccaneers look for a new quarterback, the selection of Mensah could mark a significant move toward a more dynamic offensive strategy under playcaller Zac Robinson. The NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C. next year.
