Cleveland Browns: Baker Mayfield makes his Late Night Talk Show debut

Baker Mayfield made his late night talk show debut on Wednesday night. He appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden. Mayfield is shattering stereotypes and making it cool to be the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns.

Baker Mayfield is changing everything that has been associated with the Cleveland Browns over the last 20 years. The first change had to come on the field. From the onset, it was clear that turning it around would take a gargantuan effort.

Lucky for every Cleveland fan, Mayfield has been up to the task. While no one is satisfied with a record of 7-8-1, it is clear, and you would be hard to find a person (not named Colin Cowherd) that believes the Browns have not turned the proverbial corner.

The next thing that had to be changed was the public perception of being a perennial loser. While some of that can be done with on-field play, much of the heavy lifting is going to have to be done off the field.

Once again, Baker Mayfield appears to be the man for the job. He is just the right combination of affable, cocky/confident, and self-deprecating.

On Wednesday night, Mayfield made his Late Night talk show debut. He appeared on the Late Late Show with James Corden.

The segment, called ‘NUZZLE WHAAA?’ with Baker Mayfield, featured Mayfield and host James Corden in a head to head competition where they were blindfolded and guessing objects using only their faces. As you can guess from the description, hilarity ensued. Utilizing a scoring system that Corden made up on the fly, Mayfield was edged out 3-2. Although in the end it was agreed to be a draw. Knowing Mayfield, he probably won’t forget that loss the next time he is on the show. Rookie mistake by Corden.

These next words you are about to read are even shocking to type. Baker Mayfield is making it cool to be the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. Talk about shattering stereotypes. That, in itself, may be just as much of an accomplishment as anything that he was able to do on the field this season.

Of course, if he doesn’t perform on the field none of these opportunities will be there for him. But as success keeps coming Mayfield’s way, expect to see him doing more and more stuff like this off the field. Who knows what is next for the young man. It’s Baker Mayfield’s world, we’re just living in it.
