Buccaneers allowed Baker Mayfield to be himself and he's turned into a top quarterback

Baker Mayfield completed 71.4% of his passes for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns last season, leading the Buccaneers to their fourth consecutive NFC South title.

  • Baker Mayfield joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two years ago to compete for the quarterback position formerly held by Tom Brady.
  • Mayfield faced low expectations after being traded and waived but the Buccaneers believed he could reach his potential given their supportive culture.
  • Mayfield became a team leader, elevated his play on the field, and earned an extension, all while thriving under coaches Jason Licht and Todd Bowles.
  • In the 2023 season, Mayfield passed for just over 4,000 yards, recorded 28 touchdown passes alongside 10 interceptions, achieved a passer rating near 95, and played a pivotal role in securing the Buccaneers' division championship.
  • Mayfield’s development suggests the Buccaneers’ culture and support system enable him to contribute significantly toward future team successes.
