Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield might be flying under the radar as one of the game’s elite QBs right now. The 30-year-old has already made two Pro Bowls with the Bucs in as many seasons, and he’s tallied a 22-15 record leading the team, including an impressive 3-0 start to the current season.

With the NFL being very top-heavy these days in terms of quality QBs, why shouldn’t Mayfield be considered a top five talent at the position? Since donning a Buccaneers uniform in 2023, Mayfield has put up great numbers and presided over a winning team. What else does Tampa Bay want from its successor to Tom Brady ?

While Mayfield will never be Brady, of course, he’s carving out his own path in Tampa and has emerged as one of the NFL’s best leaders.
