Vance Joseph is plenty familiar with Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield.
The Broncos defensive coordinator was the club’s head coach in 2018 when the staff coached the Senior Bowl.
That group of quarterbacks in the NFL draft included Mayfield along with Buffalo’s Josh Allen. Mayfield ended up going No. 1 overall to Cleveland, playing there from 2018-21 and struggling before splitting 2022 between Carolina and the Los Angeles Rams. He found his stride on a cheap one-year deal in 2023 with the Buccaneers and parlayed it into a three-year, $100 million deal this spring.
“Baker is a great story,” Joseph said.
