TAMPA, Fla. -- Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield voiced his support for Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young on Wednesday, two days after the 2023 first-overall draft pick was benched following an 0-2 start.
"Obviously [my career] didn't happen in the same timeframe as Bryce, but quarterback's hard, especially for young guys when you're not surrounded with the pieces ... and you're not given the opportunity to have success, Mayfield said.
"A lot of time, guys have the talent, they might have the brains, but they don't have the right opportunity or the right fit.
