TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers held a Gus Swayze look-alike contest Friday, with quarterback Baker Mayfield serving because the choose — and the outcomes have been fairly spectacular.
Swayze is the fictional, mullet-wearing Buccaneers superfan portrayed by Mayfield in “The Undercovers” sequence on Amazon Prime, the place he pranked followers and even a few of his personal teammates.
“Quite a lot of knee braces. Acquired that bone-on-bone, no cartilage — you gotta do it,” Mayfield stated as he assessed the group. “The bandanas are correct. The trouble’s all there, so I recognize this.”
All three finalists rocked belt buckles with pockets chains and wore knee braces over their pants.
“The mullets are intact, the sun shades are correct, however proper now — there’s just one one that has their Crocs in ‘sport mode,'” Mayfield stated.
That element sealed the win. Mayfield introduced the champion with a customized football-shaped trophy adorned with a mullet, mustache and bandana.
Sport mode for the win 🥇😂 https://t.co/8XcRMKfgd6 pic.twitter.com/WTmadFXjzc
