Mayfield's Unique Approach to the Game Praised by Brady's Longtime Linebacker
Baker Mayfield and Tom Brady are often compared for their on-field prowess, but what sets them apart is their distinct approach to the game. According to Lavonte David, a linebacker who has played with both quarterbacks in the NFL, they share an unwavering passion and competitive drive that has been essential to their success.
While Brady was drafted 199th overall in the 2000 draft and developed his skills through years of experience and hard work, Mayfield's journey to stardom was more unconventional. The former No. 1 pick went through a tumultuous period with multiple teams before finding success with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
David notes that while Brady is meticulous about details and likes to see everything perfect on the field, Mayfield takes a more relaxed approach. However, this difference in style hasn't hindered Mayfield's performance, as he continues to excel despite injuries to his receiving corps.
With 1,919 yards, 13 touchdowns, and just two interceptions, Mayfield has been a revelation for the Buccaneers, who sit atop the NFC South with a 6-2 record. As they enter their bye week, the team is focused on getting healthy and continuing to improve, with many expecting a deep playoff run.
Mayfield's trajectory under coach Bruce Arians has been nothing short of remarkable, and if he can sustain his current level of performance, he may well have another shot at winning a Super Bowl championship. With David's endorsement, Mayfield's path forward seems less daunting, as the Buccaneers continue to look strong contenders in the NFC.
