After surpassing Tyrod Taylor as the starter in Week 3 last season, Mayfield threw for 3,725 yards and had and 27 touchdowns to 14 interceptions. The Browns finished 7-8-1 and Mayfield proved he was well worth the No. 1 overall pick, breaking the record for touchdown passed by a rookie.
Mayfield needed just 13.5 games to set the new rookie mark. Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning — who previously shared the record — started all 16 games their rookie seasons. Now he’s got a full year and offseason as QB1 to show the league what he’s made of. Plus, Baker’s got an elite No. 1 wide receiver talent in Beckham.
Mayfield has garnered some big-time attention as an MVP candidate and is listed among the top 10 candidates to take home the NFL’s top honor, coming in at 25-1 in the latest odds released by Westgate SuperBook. The Browns’ second-year QB is tied with Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and Falcons signal-caller Matt Ryan.
NFL.com’s Adam Schein had previously listed Mayfield as one of his MVP favorites — behind only Philip Rivers and defending MVP Patrick Mahomes. He said that if the former No. 1 overall pick leads Cleveland back to the playoffs and an AFC North division title, it will help Mayfield get an edge in the voting.
“Mayfield won’t fail. He can’t fail. He has the talent, moxie, work ethic, accuracy and leadership skills to push the Browns to the playoffs,” Schein wrote of Mayfield. “Mayfield will get extra credit for driving Cleveland to an AFC North title, fighting against both a tough group of division rivals and the Browns’ long, established history of dreadful, misguided ineptitude.”
