Cleveland Browns using creative tool to improve Baker Mayfield's footwork

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt quickly made it known during his introductory press conference in February he wanted Baker Mayfield to make changes to his footwork during the offseason.

Van Pelt stressed that he wanted Mayfield to be smoother with his feet during his dropbacks to help move through his progressions, as well as improving his accuracy. Van Pelt claimed the improved footwork will help Mayfield reach a 64 percent completion percentage, which he believes is the "benchmark for an effective passer."

Mayfield has had tendencies to get slightly erratic with his footwork, which has caused him to sail throws high.
