How Mayfield Fits in McAdoo's Offense

NFL Offseason - Matt Rhule's conquest to bring in every discarded first-round quarterback has led him to Baker Mayfield. A fallen star of a former first overall pick, Mayfield was finally let out of Cleveland and sent over to Carolina for a conditional fifth-round pick. On the surface, Mayfield is the most talented and arguably most accomplished passer that Rhule has been able to scrounge up, but a deeper dive into his fit with the offense suggests this is not a perfect marriage.

For all of Mayfield's historic success in Lincoln Riley's spread offense at Oklahoma, he has never been that quarterback in the NFL.
