Baker Mayfield – Important
QB Baker Mayfield is focusing on his current coaches as opposed to a rumored one for the future … who is also part of his past. Mayfield was asked about Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley on Wednesday, two days removed from the Browns firing Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley and replacing them with Gregg Williams and Freddie Kitchens, respectively. “He’s doing his thing and I’m doing mine. I’m not worried about that,” the 23-year-old Mayfield said of Riley, who helped guide the former to the Heisman Trophy last season. “Coach Williams is our head guy right now, Freddie is our offensive coordinator, and we need to roll with that. We have a team that’s capable of winning in this locker room right now so we need to trust them.”
