Browns banking adversity will again make Baker Mayfield better than ever

BEREA, Ohio -- High school, college or pro, Baker Mayfield has never been 2-4.

But once before, he was actually 1-2.

During his second season at Oklahoma, Mayfield tossed two interceptions, as Ohio State chased him and the Sooners out of their own stadium, effectively eliminating OU from the College Football Playoff just three weeks into the season. Afterward, Bob Stoops called out the leadership on his team, and even singled out Mayfield’s performance for not being "near good enough."

Yet never to be mistaken for Tim Tebow, Mayfield responded with his own Tebow moment.
