Baker Mayfield Lands On Top 10 List Of “Execs, Coaches And Scouts”
June 21st, 2025
We’re about one month from the reveal of the annual ESPN survey that asks team executives, coaches and scouts to name their top players at each position.
ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler produces the July feature, but he let one cat out of the bag early.
Fowler probably thought Joe wasn’t paying attention. Ha!
Talking Bucs in a roundtable chat on NFL Live this week, Fowler noted a Baker Mayfield stat and said the Bucs’ QB is approaching “elite” status.
Fowler seemed to want to justify that take with unreleased survey results.
“I’ll give you a little tease here, every summer I rank the top-10 players at each position through execs, coaches and scouts; I do like a composite ranking [of their votes],” Fowler said. “Baker Mayfield acquitted himself very well, probably better than most would think.”
So it sure seems to Joe that Mayfield not only landed in the top-10 of NFL QBs, but he probably checked in at anywhere from No. 7 to No. 9.
Impressive stuff. The Bucs really need to capitalize on all things Mayfield before he’s commanding $60 million a season.
