Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield’s brilliant 2024-25 campaign ended in dismay, but his performances have helped him get his second Pro Bowl nod, replacing rookie standout Jayden Daniels, per Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Daniels earned the third-most fan votes (242,352). Daniels, who is coming off a NFC Championship appearance for the Washington Commanders, has decided not to participate in this year’s Pro Bowl Games.
Mayfield appeared in the 2023-24 festivities, and took home the Offensive MVP award, representing the NFC. He joins a QB rotation that already includes Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff and Minnesota Vikings’ Sam Darnold. It’s quite the letdown for the fans that Daniels won’t be available to compete. His throwing ability and dual-threat speed was bound to be a major advantage for the roster.
The NFC defeated the AFC 64-59 in last year’s events, with Mayfield finishing things off in the flag football game.
The Buccaneers’ season didn’t end like they wanted, after Daniels and the Commanders sent them home in the Wild Card. Despite the early playoff loss, Mayfield’s season was spectacular, throwing for 4,500 yards and 17 touchdowns in 17 games.
Mayfield will join Buccaneers’ Mike Evans, offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs and defensive lineman Vita Vea in Orlando for the upcoming weekend.
