Baker Mayfield Reflects on Time with Browns Ahead of Matchup

Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Buccaneers, has been anticipating the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns, the team that selected him first overall in the 2018 NFL Draft. This matchup is particularly significant for him as it marks a return to face his former team.

Mayfield's tenure with the Browns ended on a challenging note, culminating in his replacement by Deshaun Watson following a difficult 2021 season. However, he recalls a highlight from 2020 when he led the Browns to their first playoff victory since 1994, defeating the Steelers in a decisive wild card game.

While reflecting on his Cleveland experience, Mayfield noted that he prefers to focus on the positive memories, including friendships formed with teammates. He acknowledged the changes within the Browns organization since his departure. As he prepares for the game, Mayfield is concentrating on improving his performance, particularly after struggling with ball security in a recent loss to Cincinnati.
