"People don't know this story. I don't know if I ever told this. A friend of mine owns a restaurant in Manhattan Beach," Cowherd said. "Baker is at dinner at my friend's restaurant with his beautiful wife, Emily, and a homeless guy comes in, doesn't know who he is and kind of attacks him. And it's like a wild scene.

"Baker settles the guy down. Baker wants to buy him dinner; the thing could have been chaotic. He was such a good guy and apparently handled it with such dignity and such class and such humanity. So, I think he's a really, genuinely good guy."

Mayfield is entering the second year of a three-year, $100 million deal with the Buccaneers. He is set for his third season as the starting quarterback for Tampa Bay and has become a fan favorite.

Baker Mayfield reveals his priority for Buccaneers season

Entering the 2025 NFL season, Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have expectations of winning the NFC North for the fifth consecutive season.

The Bucs have a solid offense, and Mayfield says his priority is getting the ball out of his hands and to the playmakers.

"We've got a bunch of good receivers, skill players that can do a lot more with it than I can," Mayfield told ESPN.

Mayfield got rid of the ball in under 2.5 seconds in 335 attempts last season, showing his ability to make a quick read and get rid of the ball.

Mayfield and the Buccaneers open the 2025 NFL season on Sept. 7 on the road against the Atlanta Falcons.
