NFL quarterback Baker Mayfield says the first minutes after a defeat are critical: shower, clear your head, then tackle the next challenge. The 30-year-old shared his routine while discussing his new role fronting Every Man Jack‘s grit-focused rebrand.
From Walk-On to Brand Face
Mayfield’s rise-under-recruited, twice a walk-on, now an eight-year pro-mirrors the grooming brand’s “put in the work” ethos. He headlines their Premium Collection push, linking self-care with perseverance.
> “A lot of people just see the success, the end result, but it’s about the process,” Mayfield tells News Of Los Angeles.
Game-Day Reset Ritual
After losses, the QB keeps it simple:
- Replays key moments in his head
- Hits the showers immediately
- Takes a breath and reframes: “Let’s go fix it next time”
- Sneaks in a workout or quiet time outside
Life Beyond Football
Fatherhood offers perspective. Since daughter Kova Jade arrived in April 2024, Fridays mean daddy-daughter lunch dates-his mid-season reset button.
> “Hanging out with her… reprioritizes my thoughts,” he says.
Community Honors
The Buccaneers nominated Mayfield for the 2025 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, citing his on-field comeback and community work through the Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation.
Key Takeaways
- Mayfield uses a quick post-game routine-shower, reflection, forward focus-to rebound from losses
- His partnership with Every Man Jack spotlights modern masculinity tied to hard work
- Weekly lunches with his toddler daughter provide mental balance during the grind of an NFL season
- Leadership, he says, is his proudest attribute-showing and telling teammates how to improve
For Mayfield, the message is consistent on and off the field: put in the work, reset fast, repeat.
