Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has always been open about his faith. He’s discussed countless times before on how much his faith plays a big role in his life. It’s a theme we’ve seen across the NFL from stars like Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, and Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels. But ahead of this third Sunday of the Lenten season, Mayfield joined the good folks at Sports Spectrum Friday to discuss several aspects of his faith. Notably, how a lesson from God brought him back to reality on his identity.
When talking about his transition into the NFL from college and realizing he made it as a football player, Mayfield revealed how he was only focused on that rather than being something more.
