Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has a laundry list of high-caliber weapons in 2025.
To suggest the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on paper at least, in 2025 will have one of the best offenses in football isn't a stretch.
A collection of receivers that just about any other NFL team would clamor for, with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Jalen McMillan, Emeka Egbuka, and tight end Cade Otton, Baker has some superb weapons.
Oh, and we haven't mentioned Bucky Irving or Rachaard White yet either. So throw those two in there and in totality, the Buccaneers, with new coordinator Josh Grizzard calling the shots, should be at the pointy of the conversation of best offenses in football.
For ESPN, in ranking all 32 teams and their skill-position players, Tampa, as expected, is high, coming in at No. 7.
"Injuries can often be a setback for an offense," ESPN writes. "For the Bucs, it might have strangely helped their standing in these rankings. Are there concerns that the offense won't look as good without coordinator Liam Coen? Maybe. Irving has also been an elite back for only a half-season.
"Godwin is recovering from a serious injury. Evans turns 32 next month and has missed time in three of the past four seasons. You can poke just enough holes around Tampa's key contributors to keep them from getting any higher. But what a fun group of players to watch."
There is nothing to suggest that the Buccaneers won't be playoff-bound and shouldn't expect a deep postseason run either.
Some have pointed to yet another coordinator change as a reason for skepticism, but Grizzard was the passing game coordinator under Liam Coen last year, so the scheme and verbiage will roughly be the same, with some of Josh's ideas sprinkled in.
This is a loaded offense, and if the injury bug stays away, could it be the best in football? That might seem outlandish, but when you have assembled the talent the Buccaneers have, it is in the realm of possibility.
