Ohio State WR Garrett Wilson could be pick to boost Baker Mayfield, Browns' passing attack

Shortly after being drafted by the Browns in 2018, Baker Mayfield was back in Austin, Texas, watching his high school alma mater's spring practice.

One player in particular stood out to Mayfield -- wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who by then had committed to play for Ohio State.

“Garrett sticks out like a sore thumb,” Mayfield said then to Lake Travis coach Hank Carter, who won a Texas state title with Mayfield as his quarterback in 2011. “I don’t think Lake Travis has ever had a specimen like that.”

After the practice, Mayfield sought out Wilson jogging off the field.
