Baker Mayfield believed Jets wanted to draft him, according to agent

Baker Mayfield’s agent said on a podcast that the Jets wanted to select the Oklahoma quarterback with the No. 3 pick in last week’s NFL Draft.

Jack Mills, who is Mayfield’s agent, also revealed that the Patriots were interested in trading up to No. 2 to select Mayfield if he were available. Mills made his comments on “The Business of Sports with Andrew Brandt” podcast.

Mayfield ended up being the No. 1 overall selection by the Browns. The Giants took Penn State running back Saquon Barkley with the No. 2 pick and the Jets selected USC quarterback Sam Darnold at No.
