Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson wants us to all know that Tyrod Taylor is the starting quarterback. He wants No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to sit and learn the NFL game.
We all knew that was the plan as soon as Taylor was brought in. We didn’t know who the rookie would be, but we knew the team wanted to start a veteran.
Everyone has heard it, including Mayfield. He just doesn’t want to settle for that.
Mayfield said before the second day of rookie minicamps that he’s going to prove his worth and try to win that job — even if Jackson says it isn’t up for grabs.
