Daily Dawg Tags: Mayfield works under center for Cleveland Browns
By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the news you need to know to keep up with your Cleveland Browns, including Baker Mayfield zeroing in on snaps under center
One thing that’s great about the rookie minicamp is we get to have some insight to what the staff thinks in regards to certain newcomers. For instance, we all saw that Austin Corbett is being worked out at tackle — which could make his status as the No. 33 pick look even better.
As for the first overall pick, we got to see what the team wants him to work on. That would be taking snaps under center.
While at Oklahoma, Baker Mayfield played primarily from the shotgun and that’s not going to be the norm in the NFL. That means Cleveland is driving home the need for him to work from this set. The gaol is to make something foreign feel like second nature.
That story and more are the focus of today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

Undervalued presence of Drew Stanton
All this quarterback talk is great, but one thing being overlooked is how important Drew Stanton is. If the plan to sit Mayfield for a full season is going to work, this team needs a backup they can trust, like Drew Stanton.

"“We are going to hammer that until I am good and it feels natural,” Mayfield said, via ESPN’s Tony Grossi. “That is the way it should be because I can play out of the ‘gun. Everybody here knows that. We are going to hammer that and we are going to work on what I need to work on so that we can go from there.”"
"The severity of Callaway’s injury is unknown. He had his left shoe off on the sidelines and was checked by a trainer before walking into the facility gingerly. It happened during a one-on-one drill and he never made it to the 11-on-11s."
