Baker Mayfield might have been snubbed as the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, but the Browns quarterback fared very well in Pro Football Focus’ year-end honors.
Mayfield captured the PFF Offensive Rookie of the Year honors for his record-setting performance that helped lift the Browns from a winless punchline to a legit playoff contender. He also checks in at No. 75 overall on PFF’s annual Top 101 players list.
From the Top 101 list,
After failing to win any games in the 2017 season, Mayfield helped orchestrate Cleveland to seven wins in 2018. Mayfield finished with the eighth-best overall grade among quarterbacks this season at 84.5, but it was his accuracy and his ability to push the ball downfield that made his debut season special. Among all quarterbacks, the number-one overall draft pick’s big-time throw rate of 7.3 percent ranked third-best for the year.
