Tom Brady had huge praise for Baker Mayfield’s unreal stiff-arm throw

Tom Brady knows a thing or two about incredible quarterback plays. The NFL MVP-turned-announcer saw one of them on Sunday courtesy of Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers took on the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 10 clash at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers trailed the Niners 20-17 with under two minutes left in the contest.

Facing 4th-and-7 from their own 37, Mayfield and the Buccaneers needed a first down to keep their hopes alive. Once 49ers lineman Nick Bosa caught ahold of Mayfield’s left arm, the Buccaneers looked like they were about to turn it over on downs. But Mayfield stiff-armed the All-Pro edge rusher and somehow made a pass to Rachaad White for a first down (video here).

Both Brady and broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt could not believe the play Mayfield had just made. Brady gave Mayfield the highest praise, calling the feat one of the greatest he’s ever witnessed from a QB.

Burkhardt: “That’s one of the best plays I’ve seen all year.

Brady: “That’s one of the best plays I’ve ever seen a quarterback make.”
