A vintage-looking photo of Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield wearing an orange creamsicle football uniform. His retro glasses have orange lenses, and he's wearing an old-school headband. There is a boombox next to the bench he's sat on, he's looking at the camera with a serious expression, and the background is a plain red sheet.
