Bucs QB Baker Mayfield puts NFL on notice with preseason appearance image

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield made his preseason appearance in the team's final game against the Miami Dolphins.

At the onset, it was unclear how long Mayfield (or the first-team offense) would play, but one series proved enough for the Bucs offense.

Mayfield was a perfect 3 for 3 in pass completions. He engineered a touchdown scoring drive.  In the process, he put the NFL on notice about WR3 Jalen McMillan pointing out that Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are not the only offensive threats.

McMillan's 28-yard leaping reception was the latest in a series of great catches Bucs fans have witnessed this summer.

Jalen McMillan was the 92nd overall pick by the Buccaneers in this year's draft.  He makes his NFL debut when Tampa Bay hosts the Washington Commanders on Sunday, September 8 at 4:25 PM ET on FOX.
