NFL Draft: Baker Mayfield meets media, dares anyone to doubt him

INDIANAPOLIS - To say that Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield showed up at the NFL scouting combine with a chip on his shoulder would be inaccurate.

Whatever that was alongside Mayfield's neck was more like the Roman Coliseum.

Some of the prospects at the combine view their meetings with the media as an opportunity to tell their story, state their case and go out of their way to be as pleasant, cooperative and effusive as possible.

Others are just naturally shy or introverted and appear uncomfortable and brief in their answers.

Some of the cocky or arrogant prospects come in thinking they’re smarter than everyone else and come off as a little too sure of themselves, even a bit smarmy.
