NFC Notes: Buccaneers, Falcons, Saints

Buccaneers

Buccaneers OC Dave Canales said Baker Mayfield is showing “great vision,” which allows them to give him a lot of passing options. 

“One thing about Baker, he has great vision and fast eyes, so getting guys moving is a good thing,” Canales said, via Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. “Bake will find someone.”

Buccaneers GM Jason Licht said Mayfield wants to “resurrect his career” in Tampa Bay.

“He has an eternal chip on his shoulder,” Licht said. “Now he wants to resurrect his career. Everybody was counting him out and saying he sucks.”

Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles isn’t surprised by Mayfield’s production.

“I knew what I was getting,” said Bowles. “Sometimes the hottest name isn’t the best name.”

Falcons
