Baker Mayfield was a highly sought-after prospect in 2018 when he was coming out of collegiate football. Locked up as the potential number one seed of the 2018 NFL Draft as an overwhelming favorite, Mayfield had all the credentials for NFL experts and fans to jump on his bandwagon. While six years into his NFL career, the Austin native is still trying to find his footing, he is on course to do so as he gets ready for his second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Last season in 2023-24, Mayfield had a career resurrection after he led the Bucs to the playoffs by helping them clinch the NFC South. The Bucs have kept their faith in their leading man and have signed him to a three-year contract worth $100 million. Even so, if Mayfield can manage to step up and prove his worth once again, then it could do wonders for his career.

Baker Mayfield Emily Wilkinson's first meeting

Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily Wilkinson first met through a common friend who introduced the pair to one another. It seems that the two bonded very well within no time as they were engaged just six months into their relationship.

The story of the couple’s first meeting though is not as straightforward as two people meeting up. Incidentally, the pair first met over a Facetime call when Mayfield was having a conversation with his brother after an Oklahoma Sooners college football game in which he had just played. While his brother panned the phone to show who all had watched the game, Baker was surprised to see Wilkinson whom he did not know at the time. However, as per ‘People’, the couple's mutual friend was trying to get the two together for quite some time before this chance encounter.

Initially, Wilkinson was not too interested as she had her share of reservations about dating an athlete. However, it took all but a couple of days for her and Mayfield to fall for each other and the rest is history.
