Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was the latest Cleveland player to participate in a Zoom teleconference with the local media. The affable quarterback joined from his home in Texas.
The obvious question about football is how well Mayfield believes the progress is going with rookie head coach Kevin Stefanski. The two still haven’t met in person since the coronavirus pandemic forced all interaction to occur remotely, but the QB and coach remain in close contact. Mayfield thinks it’s going to work very well in transitioning to a more measured, balanced offensive attack under Stefanski.
Mayfield sees his skills blending very nicely with the offense Stefanski is teaching.
“I think it matches up very well,” Mayfield told reporters. “I think my skill-set matches up very well. I think it will be a great fit.”
The emphasis is on making better, quicker decisions and focusing more on the fundamentals than the flash, which is not how the 2019 season went under Freddie Kitchens. Mayfield was much more reserved and focused on being deliberate in his responses than in the past, too.
