Michigan’s offense can learn from Baker Mayfield’s Cleveland Browns debut

Wasn’t that exciting?

In case you missed it, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft was thrown into the fire down by two scores late in the first half on Thursday Night Football.

Cleveland Browns starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion, which made way for one of the more memorable debuts from a rookie quarterback in quite some time.

Former Oklahoma Sooner, 2017 Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield shredded the New York Jets defense and got the Browns their first win since 2016.

Mayfield’s presence changed the attitude of the fans in the stadium, it made his offensive line start protecting better than they were with Taylor in, and it changed the scheme of the Browns offense.
