“Baker‘s our starting quarterback, Kyle‘s our No. 2,” head coach Todd Bowles said (via ESPN). “We love everything Kyle has done. And he’s gotten leaps and bounds better than he was in the spring and he’s continuing to get better and we’re excited about him. But Baker‘s our guy right now — experience-wise and just understanding the playbook just a little bit better.”

“Now I’ve just got to lead like I know how, and the real thing is right around the corner,” Baker said. “It’s an exciting time.”

Baker was selected number 1 by the Cleveland Browns in 2018. He signed a one-year deal worth up to $8.5 million earlier this year with the Bucs.

Baker went viral a few years back over a big allegation that was made.
