After scoring a rushing touchdown, Baker Mayfield engaged in a playful back-and-forth with a reporter regarding the spontaneous nature of his celebration, which he confirmed was a tribute to Giants QB Tommy DeVito. Despite the reporter's persistence in questioning him about the planning behind it, Mayfield maintained that the celebration was unscripted and simply aimed to resonate with the New York fans' affection for DeVito.
Mayfield explained his celebration: "It's a tribute to Tommy, yeah. He's a good dude. He's got swag." He further clarified during the questioning that he didn't traditionally plan celebrations, calling his actions "spontaneous stuff." This led the reporter to inquire more deeply about how organized or deliberate the celebration really was, but Mayfield stuck to his point.
When pressed about the planning of the celebration, Mayfield stated, "You know, most of the times, I don't know what I'm gonna do, so spontaneous stuff," indicating that this approach to celebrating touchdowns is consistent with his generally unscripted style.
The reporter's inquiry about Mayfield's heritage, "Are you Italian, by any chance, or no?" elicited a light-hearted response as Mayfield admitted he hadn’t done a 23andMe test, leaving the question playfully unanswered.
