Baker Mayfield’s agent, Jack Mills, appeared on “The Business of Sports” podcast with Andrew Brandt. The nearly hour-long interview is a good listen to gain some insight into their mindset throughout this whole process. You can listen to the episode here.
Around the 25-minute mark, Mills re-emphasizes what we heard on “Behind Baker (Episode 9),” which was that they did not feel he would be drafted any lower than third overall by the Jets. Mayfield just got the sense after working out with the Jets that they were in love with him, and were going to draft him if he was available.
