Following one season of college football with the Texas Tech Red Raiders, he played for the Oklahoma Sooners, becoming the first walk-on player to win the Heisman Trophy.[3][4][5][6] He was selected first overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL draft.
Mayfield set the NFL rookie quarterback record for passing touchdowns during his first year, along with ending a 19-game winless streak for the Browns in his debut. His most successful season with the team was in 2020 when he led the Browns to their first playoff appearance since 2002 and first playoff victory since 1994. Following a performance decline and conflict with Browns management, Mayfield was traded from Cleveland in 2022, spending the year with the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles Rams.
In 2023, Mayfield joined the Buccaneers, leading the team to two consecutive division titles and a playoff victory. He also earned two consecutive Pro Bowl selections. Mayfield is currently the all-time leader in playoff passer rating.
Early lifeBaker Reagan Mayfield was born on April 14, 1995, in Austin, Texas, to James and Gina Mayfield as the younger of two sons.[2][7] James, a private equity consultant, encountered financial difficulties during his younger son's senior year in high school. These struggles forced the Mayfields to sell their home and live in rental homes.[7] Mayfield was given his distinctive name, Baker, which was his mother's idea, under the condition by his father that he also be named after the 40th U.S. President Ronald Reagan, which became his middle name.[8]
Mayfield grew up as a fan of the University of Oklahoma; he attended a number of their games during his childhood.[5] His father played football for three years at the University of Houston, though he never lettered.[7]
Mayfield was the starting quarterback for the Lake Tris High School Caliers football team in Austin.[9] He led Lake Tris to a 25–2 record in two seasons and won the 2011 4A State Championship.[9] He finished his high school football career totaling 6,255 passing yards, 67 touchdowns, and eight interceptions.[2] He was offered scholarships by Washington State, Rice, New Mexico and Florida Atlantic.[10] Mayfield said "I easily could've gone to a place like Florida Atlantic, but my dad pushed me to realize that my dream was to play somewhere big." He chose to go to Texas Tech, where he was a walk-on.[11]

Mayfield at 2017 Big 12 Media DaysIn November 2017, Mayfield was under fire again after an interaction during the game against Kansas. After Kansas players refused to shake his hand pregame, and following a cheap shot by a Kansas defender, Mayfield was seen grabbing his crotch and mouthing "Fuck you!" at the Kansas coach on the sideline, and told the fans to "Go cheer on basketball."[45] In response, Mayfield issued another public apology.[46] Days after the 41–3 victory over Kansas, Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley announced that Mayfield would not start or be the captain during the upcoming game against West Virginia due to his actions against Kansas.[47]

On December 9, 2017, Mayfield won the 2017 Heisman Trophy with a sweeping majority.[53] He received 732 first-place votes and a total of 2,398 points.[54] This amount translated to 86% of the possible points and the third highest percentage in Heisman history.[53] In addition, Mayfield became the first and only walk-on player to ever win the Heisman Trophy.[54]
"Baker Mayfield rule"When Mayfield transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma after his freshman year, he filed an appeal to the NCAA to allow him to be eligible to play immediately at Oklahoma on the basis that he was a walk-on and not a scholarship player at Texas Tech; therefore, the transfer rules that apply to scholarship players should not be applicable to his situation. The NCAA denied his appeal because he did not meet the criteria. Big 12 Conference rules additionally stipulated that intra-conference transfers will lose one year of eligibility over and beyond the one-year sit-out imposed by the NCAA.[55] Mayfield attempted to appeal his initial loss of eligibility to the Big 12 Conference faculty athletics representatives but was denied in September 2014.[56]
Officials from Oklahoma asked Texas Tech officials to authorize Mayfield's immediate eligibility, but Texas Tech officials objected and declined the request before granting a release in July 2014.[57] Mayfield was thus forced to sit out the 2014 season, while also losing one year of eligibility, as required by the rules.[58][59]
On June 1, 2016, the Big 12 faculty athletic representatives voted against a rule proposal that would he allowed walk-on players to transfer within the conference and not lose a year of eligibility. The next day, the rule proposal was amended to allow walk-on players, without a written scholarship offer from the school they are transferring from, to transfer within the conference without losing a season of eligibility. The faculty athletic representatives approved the amended proposal with a vote of 7–3. The rule change made Mayfield eligible to play for Oklahoma through the 2017 season. Texas Tech voted in for of the rule.[60][61]

As reported by The Plain Dealer, Mayfield "pretended to expose his private parts" to Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens after throwing a touchdown to tight end Darren Fells. Kitchens later defended the gesture as an inside joke between the two. Mayfield's agent Tom Mills said they would appeal the fine.[77] On December 30, in the regular-season finale against the Rens' league-best defense and fellow rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson, Mayfield threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns, but his three costly interceptions — one of which came at the hands of linebacker C.

After that, Mayfield went 18/23 for 110 yards and a touchdown for the rest of the game, including a crucial scramble for a first down to secure a 20–17 victory.[145] In Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, Mayfield went 26 for 34 for 317 yards and one touchdown in a 27–17 win. His 76% completion percentage for this game narrowly marked the best completion rate of his career at that point, in any of 33 games with 33+ pass attempts. Before that, his 75.8% completion rate on December 6, 2020, in a win against the Titans while on the Browns, had been his highest completion rate. This was also the first time in his career that Mayfield had started 2–0.[146] In Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Mayfield went 15/25 for 146 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, his first turnover of the season. He had one rush for 2 yards and fumbled once, which was recovered by Tampa Bay. Mayfield was also sacked twice.[147]
In Week 15 against the Packers, Mayfield posted a perfect passer rating, completing 22 of 28 passes for 381 yards and four touchdowns in a 34–20 win.[148] He was the first opposing quarterback to ever he a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field.[149] He was named the National Football Conference (NFC) Offensive Player of the Week for this performance.[150] In Week 18 against the Panthers, Mayfield led the Buccaneers to a 9–0 victory, clinching the Buccaneers' third straight NFC South title.[151] Mayfield concluded the season with 28 touchdown passes, 4,044 passing yards and a 64.3% completion rate, all career highs.[152] He earned his first Pro Bowl nomination.[153]
In the Wild Card Round game against the Eagles, Mayfield completed 22 of 36 passes, for 337 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions. He led the Buccaneers to a 32–9 win over the defending NFC champions.[154] In the Divisional round against the Detroit Lions, Mayfield completed 26 of 41 passes for 349 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. The second interception proved costly as it allowed the Lions to run out the clock as the Buccaneers lost, 31–23.[155]
2024 season See also: 2024 Tampa Bay Buccaneers seasonOn March 10, 2024, Mayfield signed a three-year contract extension with the Buccaneers, worth up to $100 million, with $50 million guaranteed.[156] In Week 1, Mayfield went 24-of-30 for 289 yards and four touchdowns in a 37–20 win over the Commanders.[157] In a rematch of last season's Divisional round playoff game, Mayfield completed 12 passes for 185 yards and ran for a go-ahead touchdown as the Buccaneers beat the Lions 20–16.[158] After a poor performance against the Denver Broncos, Mayfield rebounded the following week against the Eagles, throwing for 347 yards and accounting for three touchdowns as Tampa improved to 3–1.[159] In Week 5 against the Falcons, Mayfield threw three touchdown passes in the first half, but a lack of efficiency on offense in the second half cost the Buccaneers as they lost in overtime.[160] In Week 6, Mayfield threw for 325 yards, four touchdown passes, and overcame three interceptions in the second quarter to win 51–27 against the Saints, leading the offense to a franchise record 594 yards.[161]
In a 41–31 loss to the Baltimore Rens in Week 7, Mayfield threw for 370 yards and three touchdowns, but he threw a pair of costly interceptions in the first half and lost receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, the latter of whom ruled out for the season.[162] Without his top receivers, Mayfield still completed a career-high 37 passes the following week against the Falcons.[163] He finished with over 300 yards and three touchdowns for the third straight game but threw two interceptions inside the Falcons' 10-yard line as the Buccaneers lost 31–26.[164] Mayfield cut down on his interception miscues and led last-minute game-tying drives against the Chiefs and 49ers, but the Buccaneers lost both games, dropping to 4–6 heading to their bye week.[165] With the return of Mike Evans following the bye, Mayfield had an efficient game against the Giants, completing 24 of 30 passes for 294 yards, no interceptions, and a rushing touchdown as the Bucs won 30–7, snapping their four-game skid.[166] Against the Panthers in Week 13, Mayfield rallied from an Achilles injury and a poor first half to lead Tampa to a game-winning field goal drive in overtime.[167]
Mayfield's play continued to improve with three touchdowns in a win over the Las Vegas Raiders, followed by a near-flawless performance against the league's top-ranked Los Angeles Chargers defense, completing 22-of-27 passes for 288 yards and four touchdowns in a 40–17 victory.[168] In Week 17, Mayfield was 27-for-32 for 359 yards and a career-high five touchdown passes in a 48–14 win over the Panthers, earning NFC Offensive Player of the Week.[169] Needing a win against the Saints to clinch the NFC South, Mayfield led three touchdown drives in the second half and rallied his team from a double-digit deficit to secure their fourth straight division title.[170] Mayfield finished the season completing 71.4% of his passes for 4,500 yards and 41 passing touchdowns, becoming the fourth player in NFL history to he at least 4,000 passing yards, 40 passing touchdowns, and at least a 70% completion percentage in a single season.[171] He also tied with Kirk Cousins for the most interceptions with 16 and fumbles with 13, both of which led the NFL.[172][173]
Mayfield helped lead the Buccaneers to a playoff berth. In the NFC Wild Card Round, Mayfield led two touchdown drives and two drives that ended in a field goal. In that game, Mayfield threw for 185 yards completing 83.3% of his passes.[174] The Buccaneers' season ended in the Wild Card Round with a 23–20 loss to the Washington Commanders.[175]

The person who flagged the officer was yelling at Mayfield. The preliminary police report described Mayfield as unable to walk straight, hing slurred speech and food covering the front of his shirt. When he was asked to stay so the police could get a statement, Mayfield began shouting obscenities and "causing a scene". Mayfield was booked at 8:21 a.m. local time on the misdemeanor charges. He had a court date on April 7 for the public intoxication charge, and pleaded not guilty to all charges.[191] On June 15, 2017, the University of Oklahoma ordered Mayfield to perform 35 hours of community service along with completing an alcohol education program.[192]
In July 2019, Mayfield married Emily Wilkinson.[193] In December 2023, the pair announced they were expecting their first child, a girl, who was born in April 2024.[194][195]
During his tenure with the Browns, Mayfield starred in a continuing series of ads for Progressive Insurance. The ads showed him living "at home" in FirstEnergy Stadium with his wife and performing household chores like mowing the lawn and holding a yard sale.[196]
