Baker Mayfield is playing some of the best football of his life. Not enough people are talking about it.
I know this is true because I talked about it recently and have not seen anyone else falling in line. Wake up, people. Baker Mayfield is on fire and we need to give him his flowers.
Everyone knows Baker for his personality and fiery disposition, but what they may not realize is that he has been playing like a certifiable franchise quarterback ever since taking over for Tom Brady as quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With Baker under center the Bucs haven’t missed a beat, relatively speaking, and he has individually posted back-to-back career highs as far as passing yards and touchdowns are concerned.
Consider that Tampa was able to retain Chris Godwin in free agency — granted, he is coming back from injury — and added to their wide receiver fold with Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka. Giving Baker another weapon and dynamic to work with will surely lead to more success and, if we are lucky, more fun quotes and moments from his colorful personality.
Mayfield put that personality to work recently with another colorful character in San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Together the two are helping to show off Bud Light’s Traegerator which is a dream of a setup for any tailgate across football.
Fans who are interested in the Traegerator being a part of their own football experience are in luck, as fate would have it. To bring the heat to your next tailgate, fans 21+ can comment #Traegerator and #Sweepstakes on Bud
Light’s dedicated post on Instagram for a chance to win a tailgate with the Traegerator this football
season. Fans can stay tuned for more fun to come throughout the season. To learn more about Bud Light’s new Traegerator campaign, fans 21+ can visit www.BudLight.com and follow Bud Light on Facebook at Facebook.com/BudLight, on X at @BudLight, and on Instagram @BudLight.
Perhaps your tailgate will take you to Tampa Bay or San Francisco. Inevitably this entire season is going to take us to the latter as that is where Super Bowl LX will take place.
Time will tell whether or not Baker has put together another career high to get the Buccaneers in the mix.
