Impresses Mayfield at camp Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield said Tuesday that he's been "completely overwhelmed with the amount of talent" that Gainwell has, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Gainwell apparently has one very important fan on his new team. While Bucky Irving remains the likely lead runner, Gainwell should get a lot of the work on passing downs while also maintaining a small role in "pony" packages with two halfbacks. New playcaller Zac Robinson used double-RB looks on a league-high 95 plays (9.1 percent of total snaps) with the division-rival Falcons last year.

Impact Both Gainwell and Bucky Irving, the Bucs' top running backs on the depth chart, observed Friday's game in street clothes while Josh Williams, Sean Tucker and Kadarius Calloway all saw action.

He caught 73 passes (on 85 targets) last year with Pittsburgh, and he figures to see a sizable in Tampa Bay's passing game for the upcoming season.

Impact Irving is likely to get the majority of rushing opportunities in the regular season, and the Buccaneers also have Sean Tucker, who was used prominently in the red zone in 2025. Gainwell's niche is expected to come in passing situations, so it's good to see him building an early rapport with quarterback Baker Mayfield. Gainwell led the Steelers with 73 catches in the 2025 regular season, while Tampa Bay's running backs combined for 78 receptions last season.
