Hue Jackson has vowed all along that veteran Tyrod Taylor would start the season as Cleveland's quarterback, but rookie Baker Mayfield has made an impression of his own on the Browns head coach.
"Baker Mayfield has been everything I thought a quarterback should be for our organization thus far," Jackson said Sunday of the first-overall pick in the draft, per ESPN's Pat McManamon. "He's doing the things that we want him to do the way we want him to do it, and he's exceeding those things. Because he's putting in the time. He doesn't have a pride or [arrogance] any kind of way.
"His thing is, 'You guys tell me what you want me to do, and I'm going to do it.' That's what he's done since he's walked in the building. To me that's exciting. That's a player that's eager to learn, and grow."
Mayfield shined in Sunday's practice, with McManamon noting the rookie has "shown he has picked up the offense quickly, and he has an understanding of the system," while adding Mayfield "has a strong arm, he's been accurate and he gets rid of the ball quickly."
