Browns fans have been excited from day one about first overall pick Baker Mayfield, and he delivered in his first season bringing excitement back to the team it hasn’t seen in a very long time.
Mayfield set rookie records for touchdown passes, helping the Browns get to 7-8-1 and putting high expectations on 2019.
