It was obvious during the 2018 season that Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had the support of the entire roster, making him a team leader right away, even as a rookie.
Mayfield is a natural-born leader because of the confidence he exudes. And during his first appearance of the 2018 regular season against the New York Jets, Mayfield’s confidence allowed him to slide into a tough situation and lead the Browns back to a victory.
And it was during that game against the Jets that Mayfield became “the guy” for the Browns offensive line. During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, former Browns offensive line coach, and cult hero, Bob Wylie said Mayfield’s witty response to a trash talking New York Jet won over the offensive line.
