That also means that today’s grid has asked for players who have played for both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a little help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Buccaneers and Panthers.
Baker Mayfield
Baker Mayfield was selected 1st overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2017 while at the University of Oklahoma. He then won NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018.
Mayfield was been credited with bringing renewed energy and competitiveness to the Browns franchise, helping them make the playoffs in the 2020 NFL season for the first time since 2002.
However, injuries hurt his production during the end of his time in Cleveland and he was subsequently traded to the Panthers. Mayfield has bounced around a bit since then, fighting for another starting quarterback role.
