While many wondered whether or not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could maintain their success following the retirement of Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield has kept a good thing going, leading the Bucs to a third straight NFC South title last season.
Mayfield was rewarded with a new three-year contract extension this offseason, and he’s established himself as a respected leader in the locker room and on the field, and not just with his teammates on offense.
During a recent appearance on “The Jim Rome Show,” Bucs defensive lineman Calijah Kancey made it clear that he loves having Mayfield as his quarterback, USA Today's Bucs Wire reports.
“Baker is a guy you would wanna run through a wall for," Kancey said.
Mayfield has clearly earned the respect of his team, and he should have them contending for yet another division championship in 2024.
