Mayfield Sports Michigan Gear as Bucs Coach Bowles Jokes About Sooners' Loss
Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield wore a Michigan Wolverines tank top, drawing a lighthearted jab from head coach Todd Bowles after Mayfield's alma mater, Oklahoma, fell to Michigan in Week 2, according to ESPN.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield was seen wearing a Michigan Wolverines tank top, a sartorial choice that prompted head coach Todd Bowles to poke fun at him, ESPN reported.
The attire drew attention because Mayfield played college football for the Oklahoma Sooners, who were stunned by Michigan during Week 2 of the college football season, according to the report.
ESPN's report noted the connection to Bowles' son, Troy Bowles, who plays for Michigan, adding a personal dimension to the coach's teasing of his starting quarterback.
The moment was described as a light-hearted exchange within the Buccaneers' locker room culture, according to the report, though further details of the interaction were not provided in the available account.
ESPN did not include direct quotes from Mayfield or Bowles regarding the exchange in the portion of the report reviewed.
