A lot of coaches had their chances and missed or passed on Baker Mayfield...and It seems Texas has a history of missing out on several Texas QB prospects that went on to star at other schools.
I like this quote from Baker Mayfield's dad, James, to Mack Brown:
"James Mayfield called another former Sooner assistant, Mack Brown, who was coaching the Texas Longhorns. “Mack said he had five quarterbacks on scholarship,” Mayfield said. “I responded that he had five kids that could not play at Lake Travis. Turns out I was correct.”
