Mayfield set the rookie quarterback record for passing touchdowns, along with ending a 19-game winless streak for the Browns in his debut.

His most successful season was in 2020 when he led the Browns to their first playoff appearance since 2002 and victory since 1994.

However, due to inconsistent play and conflict with Browns management, Mayfield was traded to the Panthers in 2022.

Where is 

Baker Mayfield in 2018 was traded by the Browns on Wednesday, who moved on to divisive quarterbacks months ago.

Much before, Mayfield sustained a ruptured labrum in his left, non-throwing shoulder in Week 2’s matchup with the Texans.

He was never the same after that. In his first two games of the previous season, Mayfield had the best completion percentage in the NFL at 82%.

Mayfield’s completion rate dropped to 57.7% for the remainder of the game while using a harness to keep his left shoulder in place, ranking second-worst in the league.

Mayfield declined to talk to ESPN about the 2021 season or his departure from Cleveland through his marketing representative.

But he said that the shoulder injury hurt him mentally and physically during the “YNK” podcast, which was released on April 13.

In 2018, Mayfield made a big splash upon his arrival in Cleveland, a city that had been examining for a franchise quarterback since the Bernie Kosar era of the 1980s.

However, his standing with the coaching staff and the locker room deteriorated after leading the Browns to their major playoff victory in 26 years in 2020.

Baker Mayfield wife

Her parents are Lori and Dave Wilkinson. She grew up alongside three siblings – Ben, Annie & Sammy, among whom, her most famous sibling, Sammy, is a musician and a fashion entrepreneur.

Sammy is one of the Omaha Boys, alongside Jack Gilinsky, Jack Johnson, and Nate Maloley. Emily’s nationality is American and belongs to the American-white ethnicity.

She follows Christianity as her religion. After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Emily landed a job as a bartender.

Following this, she joined as a patient coordinator at the Galanis Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles. In order to move with Baker to Cleveland, she had to, unfortunately, leave her job as Baker’s NFL team is based in Cleveland.

Emily has previously worked as a bartender and a patient coordinator. She is currently an Instagram model and also works as a media correspondent, and has worked with Cleveland’s 3News during the pandemic.

Walk on

Mayfield struggled in his second season in 2019 with a change in coaching staff and a newly rebuilt offensive line.

According to Pro Football Reference, the signal caller’s completion rate dropped to just 59 percent, and the Browns record fell to 6-10. That season he threw for 3,827 yards with 22 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

Because of his success at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, Baker Mayfield was offered a scholarship to play college football at Washington State — but declined the offer, instead becoming a walk-on at Texas Tech.
