NFL notebook: Browns know Mayfield target, Sherman says sorry

Former Oklahoma star Baker Mayfield's brash past behavior and celebrity status have made him a wanted man.

Around the NFL, he's Public Enemy No. 6.

Whether due to jealousy or simply wanting to bring him down, Cleveland's quarterback is being targeted by defenders.

This week, Mayfield found himself in the crosshairs of San Francisco's Nick Bosa and Richard Sherman, both of whom took different runs at the charismatic second-year pro with a reputation for speaking his mind and strutting around on the field.

Bosa roughed up Mayfield and mocked him during the 49ers' 31-3 blowout of the Browns on Monday night while Sherman blitzed him afterward, saying the 24-year-old had disrespected him by not shaking the outspoken cornerback's hand before the pregame coin toss.
