Buccaneers QB Mayfield Earns Top NFL Quarterback Ranking

News summary

Baker Mayfield has emerged as a top NFL quarterback following two consecutive career-best seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, earning widespread praise and ranking seventh on FOX Sports' list of top QBs for 2025. Analysts, including Greg Cosell and Ross Tucker, commend Mayfield's growth, strong throwing ability, and visible passion for the game, noting the Buccaneers' solid offensive line, talented backfield with Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, and a deep receiver corps featuring Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and rookie Emeka Egbuka. In 2024, Mayfield threw for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns with a 71.4% completion rate, despite missing key receivers for parts of the season, and led Tampa Bay to another division title. However, consistency remains a challenge, as a mid-season slump in 2024 affected both the team's playoff seeding and Mayfield's MVP candidacy, though he still commands legitimate MVP buzz heading into 2025. The Bucs have maintained coaching continuity aside from a new offensive coordinator, and expectations are high for another deep playoff run. Mayfield's resurgence and Tampa Bay's offensive depth make them a strong contender for the upcoming season.
