Mayfield explained

Baker Mayfield won the Heisman Trophy at Oklahoma in 2017, which made him a nationally recognised name in American football before he attempted a professional pass. Since 2023 he has been the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' quarterback, and his career in the National Football League, whose audience reaches well beyond the United States, has also taken in the Cleveland Browns, the Carolina Panthers and the Los Angeles Rams.

His professional output rests on volume and accuracy: 28,525 passing yards and 197 touchdown passes, plus a career playoff passer rating of 105.9. Two Pro Bowl selections have followed his move to Tampa Bay, and he still runs the ball himself when protection breaks down. That blend of steady volume and post-season efficiency is why he has stayed in Tampa Bay.
