Baker Mayfield chooses number with the Bucs

Mayfield’s No. 6 returns in Tampa Bay.

[autotag]Baker Mayfield[/autotag]’s favored number is coming to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey.

The Bucs announced on social media Friday that Mayfield will be wearing the No. 6 jersey with the Buccaneers. Wide receiver Julio Jones wore No, 6 last year, so if he were to re-sign with Tampa Bay, he would need to change it to another one.

Mayfield has rocked No. 6 throughout most of his career. He wore it at Oklahoma. He then wore it with the Browns and then the Panthers in Carolina, but there’s been one place he didn’t wear it — Los Angeles. Mayfield came in a bit late in the year, so he was assigned the No. 17 with the Rams and wore it until the end of the season.

Bucs fans and Mayfield himself will hope that the magic of that No. 6 from his college campaign and his stint in Cleveland will rub off in Tampa Bay, and that the play that No. 6 saw in Carolina will remain buried.
