Baker Mayfield has had an interesting career, year and week.
Before setting foot in the NFL, Mayfield achieved the amazing accomplishment of going from walk-on at two schools (Texas Tech and Oklahoma) to winning the Heisman Trophy and being the top selection in the NFL draft. That 2018 first round included five quarterbacks with varying degrees of success: from the elite (Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson) to the replaced (Sam Darnold) to the “Is he still in the league?” (Josh Rosen). As for Mayfield, he was a bit of all of the above in the last week, released by one team (where Darnold remains) and playing like an MVP three days later.
