Quinyon Mitchell has already earned a reputation as one of the NFL’s up-and-coming cornerbacks, even if the name still doesn’t carry the same mainstream weight as some of the league’s other elite defensive backs. The numbers that usually get tossed around against him - especially the interception total - don’t tell the whole story. When quarterbacks challenge him, the ball usually doesn’t end up in the receiver’s hands, and by the third quarter, some offenses seem to stop testing him altogether.
Baker Mayfield, though, made it clear in Week 4 of the 2025 season that he wasn’t exactly locked in on Mitchell’s game. That moment showed up in the new Netflix series Quarterbacks, where the Buccaneers quarterback is one of the featured subjects, and the exchange was as blunt as it gets.
“Who the f*** are you, anyway?” Mayfield asked.
“I stole that one directly from Arian Foster back in the day.”

“You know who I am,” Mitchell responded.
“No,” Mayfield noted, “I don’t.”
The comment lit a fire under Mitchell, who immediately threw fists before the Buccaneers’ linemen stepped in to break things up. Mayfield later said that was exactly what he was going for, adding that he borrowed the approach from Houston Texans legend Arian Foster.
Philadelphia, however, had the final word. The Eagles beat Tampa Bay 31-25 to move to 4-0, and Mitchell played a major role with five passes defensed and five tackles. After that performance, Mayfield is likely to remember No. 27 the next time he’s thinking about where to go with the football - because throwing his way can bring a drive to a halt in a hurry.

Buccaneers Promo Just Sparked The Kind Of Backlash Fans Hate
The Buccaneers found themselves dealing with an unwanted kind of attention after a recent social media promo drew immediate criticism from fans. What was meant to be a quick, attention-grabbing post instead landed as a jarring mix of viral spectacle and football flair, with rookie receiver Tez Johnson briefly becoming the punchline in a clip that many viewers felt crossed a line.
The backlash underscored a familiar problem for NFL teams trying to chase engagement online without losing sight of basic sensitivity. For Tampa Bay, the reaction served as a reminder that the fastest way to get people talking is not always the best way, especially when a post leaves fans focusing less on the team and more on whether the moment should have been shared at all.

Jon Gruden May Be Eyeing A Return Few Bucs Fans Expected
Jon Gruden is back in the conversation around Tampa Bay, this time not because of a sideline comeback but because he has been talking about getting back into the broadcast booth. In a recent podcast interview, Gruden said he is interested in returning to play-by-play work, a lane he knows well from his ESPN run and the years he spent as a familiar TV voice after leaving coaching.
For Buccaneers fans, it is an eye-catching twist because Gruden remains a complicated figure in the franchises history, even after being reinstated into the Ring of Honor. He is now working as an NFL media personality with Barstool Sports, but any broader football return still sits in the shadow of his ongoing lawsuit against the NFL over the leaked emails, which makes the path back to coaching look far less straightforward than a return to broadcasting.

Lavonte David May Not Be Done Shaping The Bucs Yet
Lavonte Davids playing days in Tampa Bay are over after 14 seasons and 1,714 tackles, but the linebackers connection to the Buccaneers does not feel finished. Even in retirement, he is still sounding like someone who understands the value of staying around the game, and his comments leave open the possibility that his next chapter could keep him close to the same locker room that shaped his career.
David is not rushing into anything, preferring to enjoy retirement before taking on a new role. Still, the tone is unmistakable when he talks about what would come next: if he does step into coaching, it would not be a casual experiment. He also made clear that he is still in Devin Bains corner, a reminder that even away from the field, Davids influence around the Bucs may continue to matter. [Read more 🡒]
