Jay Gruden was throwing passes to NFL receivers before he could drive. As the son of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ running backs coach in the early 1980s, as well as a teenage quarterback of some local renown — better, most folks thought, than his older brother, Jon — the youngest Gruden got the job of tossing warmup passes to the Bucs’ receivers and running backs before practices. He has still never faced a more pressure-packed situation.
