Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield drew comparisons to Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre early on in his NFL career. It started during the draft after Mayfield recreated Favre’s draft day photo.
But those comparisons have carried onto the field. Mayfield’s ability to turn something out of nothing or being able to get out of the pocket and fire an accurate pass downfield has reminded people of Favre.
And after just one year of seeing Mayfield at the NFL level, Favre understands the comparisons and sees the similarities himself. He also believes Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a similar play style as himself – via Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
