TAMPA, Fla. -- Fresh off the practice field on his second day of training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, quarterback Baker Mayfield chuckled when he reached the Bucs' makeshift outdoor podium and coach Todd Bowles shouted from 30 feet away, "Baker, are you the starter?"
"I love it," Mayfield said with a smile as he tilted the microphone closer in his direction. He has clearly made himself at home, whether it be warming up alongside towering defensive linemen like Vita Vea or detailing the chronicles of his Sasquatch-hunting bachelor party at Mike Evans' charity event, or even having a brief but testy moment with a reporter last month.
