Mayfield has played 10 quarters of regular-season football at the NFL level but has already grabbed plenty of attention. After first fueling a comeback against the New York Jets in Week 3 from a 14-0 deficit, the Browns nearly topped the Oakland Raiders on the road in overtime. Mayfield then threw for 342 yards against a strong Baltimore Ravens defense during a 12-9 overtime victory.
Through the two and a half games, the top pick in the 2018 NFL Draft has completed 58.9 percent of his passes for 838 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Most importantly, the Browns are 2-2-1 this year, with Mayfield playing large roles in both victories.
