Baker Mayfield named PFWA’s Most Improved Player

Mayfield continues to be recognized for his efforts in Tampa Bay in 2023.

The Pro Football Writers of America have named Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield their Most Improved Player of the 2023 season, capping a career-defining comeback for the former first-overall draft pick.

After a disastrous 2022 season in which Mayfield bounced from the Panthers to the Rams, Mayfield joined the Bucs as a reclamation project on a bare-bones one-year contract. Mayfield rewarded the Bucs with career highs in yardage, completions and touchdowns as well as the NFC South division title and a playoff win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mayfield is also a nominee for the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year. With postseason accolades falling Mayfield’s way, the Bucs have a big decision to make regarding his future in Tampa Bay.
