His fresh start in Tampa Bay guided for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft to have his best campaign. He threw a career-high in passing yards (4,044), touchdowns (28) and completion percentage (64.3).
Now, Mayfield can be himself heading into his second season in Tampa Bay. However, there’s a change in the club’s offensive coordinator. With former OC Dave Canales taking the head coaching job in Carolina, Liam Coen will be the new offensive coordinator.
The preseason finale against the Dolphins gave a first glimpse of how Mayfield could be in Coen’s scheme. Mayfield completed 3 of 3 passes for 54 yards and led the first-team offense to a touchdown drive. After the first drive, Mayfield’s night and preseason was done.
With the season opener against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 8, Mayfield knows only results matter in the NFL.
“Honestly, winning is the most important thing for a quarterback,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how you get it done. It doesn’t matter what it looks like. However, you get that done, however, you get that turned around from where we were at is the most important part.”
