Baker Mayfield to be named starter of Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns will name rookie Baker Mayfield their starting quarterback Monday, according to a report by Cleveland.com.

Browns coach Hue Jackson will announce Mayfield as the team's starter after meeting with the No. 1 overall draft pick and veteran Tyrod Taylor, according to the website.

Jackson has publicly stated that he will wait until Monday to announce his starter for Cleveland's next game against the Oakland Raiders. Jackson has given the players the weekend off, and he does not want to announce his starter without first talking to the players.
