Baker Mayfield knows a compliment when he hears one, even if it may sound like an insult. It's one of the reasons he fits so well with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who re-signed the hard-nosed quarterback to a three-year deal earlier this week.
During the contract news conference on Wednesday, Bucs general manager Jason Licht was asked about Mayfield's mental and physical toughness, and how much that matters to him and the organization.
Licht's answer made the entire room burst into laughter.
"He set the tone on this team, with his um, for lack of a better word, out of 1-10, he's probably a 10 on the prick scale," Licht said.
