So, how did the news of the Bucs landing a receiver at No. 19 go over in the Baker Mayfield abode tonight?
Safe bet it went over very, very well. And Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht strongly hinted Mayfield had very colorful things to say when Mayfield learned of the news.
Licht was asked in his post-pick media availability to discuss the selection of receiver Emeka Egbuka of Ohio State. Licht said, yes, he texted Mayfield with the news before it broke on NFL Network.
When asked what Mayfield’s reply was, Licht smiled and said, “He said… something.”
Licht left it at that.
Joe put this quote on Twitter and one follower replied asking Joe what Licht meant by that.
Joe felt at liberty to tell the follower Licht likely was staying professional in an on-the-record setting with national and local media present to repeat what was likely pointed R-rated vocabulary from Mayfield.
Rest assured, Mayfield will rest quite well this evening. After he’s likely had a few adult beverages to celebrate his new target.
