Still drinking Kirk Cousins’ Gatorade.
It almost sounded like former Bucs center/fan punching bag Robert Hainsey said recently that he learned more from Baker Mayfield than Tom Brady.
Hainsey, Jacksonville’s new big-money center, was asked [on the team website](https://www.jaguars.com/video/) about working with Tom Brady and Baker Mayfield during his four seasons in Tampa.
What did he learn from working with those guys?
Hainsey said being around Brady was “pretty cool” and he learned a lot of football from Brady, in addition to learning how to be a professional and take care of his body.
Mayfield? Hainsey’s praise was over the top.
> “He’s the ultimate teammate,” Hainsey said of Mayfield.

> “He’s the ultimate competitor and I can’t really say enough good things about him because it was a blast to work with him. He changed my life a lot just because of the way he operates. It’s like, ok, he’s here to win, he’s here to compete. That’s what we’re all trying to do but he brings it every day. Always a constant reminder of what your mentality needs to be like when you’re walking into this building.”
Joe was pleased to hear the Mayfield respect flowing from Hainsey, who no longer has to tow the Bucs’ company line.
Mayfield has been an incredible signing by Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. It’s one everyone knows about but routinely overlooks.
Man, if Mayfield somehow delivers the Bucs a Super Bowl ring next season, he’ll be a better signing than Brady. Yeah, Joe wrote it.
