TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily announced this week that they are expecting their first child -- a girl -- due in April 2024. Mayfield said Wednesday that he found out the news during training camp and wound up in a little trouble after he thought Emily had gotten him a puppy.

"I was in shock, to be completely honest," Mayfield said. "I had sent her a picture outside of our hotel. There was a goldendoodle puppy sign with the number on it, and I sent her a screenshot of that, and then two days later I go to the house and she put a big brother shirt on our dog.
