For Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, the day-to-day of learning a new offense, building rapport with his teammates and getting in reps to create a strong connection with pass-catchers should be more than enough for someone to have to shoulder. But his situation is different from any other player at his position.
Not only is Mayfield going through the normal process that a quarterback joining a new team must do, but he’s also competing for the starting job with Kyle Trask, who’s been with the team since 2021.
And there’s also that small factor of having to replace arguably the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL, Tom Brady.
