The Mayfields had previously announced in December that they were expecting their first child.
Mayfield is coming off a comeback season with the Buccaneers that saw him throw for over 4,000 yards and guide the team to the playoffs despite low expectations entering the season. His performances earned him a big new contract, so things are certainly looking up for him both personally and professionally.
