Baker Mayfield admitted what every Falcons fan already knows about Michael Penix Jr.

There is mutual respect in the NFC South as Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had some high praise for his opposition on Sunday afternoon, Michael Penix Jr.

After the Bucs' win, Baker took to the podium and called the Falcons' quarterback a "problem." And despite what you may think, this is a clear compliment.

“I told him after the game, he’s going to be a problem in this league for a long time. I think he’s a great player. He’s decisive, goes through his reads, trusts his guys. He’s young but he’s got it.
