Mayfield Mayfield set the rookie quarterback record for passing touchdowns, along with ending a 19-game winless streak for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clevelandbrowns.com\/\">Browns<\/a> in his debut. However, injuries, inconsistent play, and a conflict with the Browns&#8217; management forced him to leave the team he joined as a Heisman trophy winner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Impressed with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bakermayfield?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@bakermayfield<\/a>.

Mayfield started the first three games of the season. He then suffered an injury that kept him on the sidelines. Unfortunately for him, when he was fit and ready to return to action, he was benched by P.J Walker, who is having the season of his life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Baker Mayfield ready to take on a challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thankfully, it does not seem as though being benched by Walker is something Mayfield has taken negatively. He was spotted training as a defensive line as he helped out his teammates during tumultuous times. In a recent interview, Mayfield also shared his thoughts on being relegated to the backup quarterback and how that is not something he is focused on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">PJ WALKER JUST DID THAT.
