Baker Mayfield has been one of the most fun parts about this Tampa Bay Buccaneers team this season.

While he looked like he would be pretty good in the preseason, it was hard to predict that he would look this good when the rubber met the road.

He was able to put this on full display today with one of the most impressive plays by a Buccaneers quarterback in a long time-a play that even Tom Brady couldn't make.

This play was very similar to the type that Patrick Mahomes would make. The big difference? This would be getting a good bit more attention if it was a different quarterback on a different team.

Mayfield finding a way to control his body while getting tackled and putting the ball in a position to actually make a play is just unheard of at speed.

Again, just imagine Tom Brady trying to make a play like that. Hint: it doesn't happen.

If plays like this are indicative of what we will get out of Baker Mayfield over a full year, the Bucs are in for a very fun season.
