Baker Mayfield looks to show his maturity in his third year with Cleveland Browns.

Baker Mayfield is taking his off season seriously. Denying interviews, not hyping up his team, and certainly not putting a target on the backs of the Cleveland Browns. Is this a new Baker Mayfield?

No. Not even close. More mature? Sure, but a new Baker Mayfield all together? Not a chance.  Just because the man who seemingly could not stop feuding with Colin Cowherd, taking every interview offered, and giving whatever insight there seemed to be on whatever topic he was asked about has finally put all that to the back burner does not mean he has changed in the slightest.

It just means he is more in tuned with what he needs to do. Maybe the big Ski(Kevin Stefanski) in Berea is putting the screws to him a bit?

Good, that’d be a fantastic thing for this young quarterback on this young team with a lot of hot heads that will go off on the wrong topic when things are not going well for the team.

Side note, Stefanski, there are a lot of really nice houses on East of Cleveland man. Could’ve been best friends, guess I’ll settle for my dogs.

Back to Mayfield. After a dominant rookie season and an understatement of a slumping sophomore season, Mayfield really does need to right the ship come his third season.

If not, the Browns will probably be drafting a top quarterback prospect within the top-five picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, which will be held in Cleveland. Not the best look seeing as it is destiny that the Cleveland Browns win the Super Bowl and all.

Imagine drafting in the top-three the year the draft is in Cleveland. Shameful, especially with this roster, talent, and coaching staff.

Next. Can the Browns win the AFC North in 2020?. dark

Knock the rookie head coach all you want but the man has the intelligence to get it done in the NFL and Cleveland Browns fans should look forward to his play-calling come….whenever the season starts!
