Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield Driven to Reach New Heights

In 2024, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield enjoyed the best season of his career, setting personal bests in passing yards, touchdowns, and wins. However, the 30-year-old is far from satisfied. Mayfield, who was selected with the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, has shaken off the stigmas that clouded his early career and is now firmly established as the Buccaneers' franchise quarterback.

After a stint with the Los Angeles Rams in 2022, Mayfield signed a "prove-it" deal with the Buccaneers in 2023 and quickly outplayed the contract, earning a three-year, $100 million extension in 2024. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht is thrilled with Mayfield's progress and the team's goal is to keep him as their quarterback for the long term.

Despite his success, Mayfield remains driven to reach new heights. He is focused on winning a Super Bowl with the Buccaneers and believes the team has the talent to accomplish that goal. With a new offensive coordinator in place, Mayfield is determined to continue his upward trajectory and cement his status as one of the league's elite quarterbacks.
