When it comes to new Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield and Bojangles, the jokes write themselves.
Southern fast food. Baker. Baking. Get it?
Well, Mayfield already gets it.
On Tuesday, the 27-year-old passer fielded questions from media for the first time as a Carolina Panther. And as a Carolina Panther—or any kind of Carolinian, for that matter—it’s a right of passage to dine at the popular Charlotte-based restaurant chain.
So when he was asked of his favorite southern cuisine, Mayfield said he’s jonesing for some of that Bojangles.
“I’m looking forward to having my first meal at Bojangles,” he replied. “I haven’t had that yet, but I’ve been told I need to do that as soon as possible. So, I’ll probably wait a little bit. It’s not exactly on the training camp diet, but I’m looking forward to it.”
Apparently, Bojangles is looking forward to it too . . .

Hopefully for the Panthers, those biscuits aren’t the only goodies Mayfield bakes up in 2022.
