Baker Mayfield didn’t have the NFL start most No. 1 overall picks dream of.
Baker Mayfield’s life after being taken No. 1 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing.After an up-and-down first few years in the league, Mayfield said he rebooted things once while playing for the Rams at the end of last season and is now energized for the next phase of his career with the Buccaneers.
“It brought that feeling of having that success and really remembering what it was all about, Kind of hit the reset button for me.”While he led the club to its first playoff victory in 26 years in 2020, complications with the front office and teammates, namely Odell Beckham Jr, made for an uncertain future in Cleveland. Mayfield, 27, suffered a torn labrum in October 2021 and saw his performance decline for the rest of that year as he threw just 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
Mayfield was subsequently traded to Carolina in July 2022, but he struggled with the Panthers, completing a career-worst 57.7 percent of his passes while going 1-5 under center. “To be around a coach like Sean McVay and a bunch of other guys… to be around those guys and to be in that offense and now looking forward to being in Tampa because it’s a very similar system with our new offensive coordinator [David Canales],” Mayfield said. After Mayfield’s successful short sample in Los Angeles, he signed a one-year, $8.5 million deal with Tampa Bay this March.
