Pro wrestling legend Jim Ross shares heartfelt Baker Mayfield story on his podcast

WWE Hall-of-Famer and all-around professional wrestling legend Jim Ross has long worn his love for the Oklahoma Sooners on his sleeve. The Oklahoma native has openly rooted for the school’s sports programs, most particularly their football team; Ross typically heads to the broadcast area to the tune of the school’s fight song, “Boomer Sooner.” So there’s no doubt he has thoughts on Baker Mayfield, the former Oklahoma quarterback whom the Browns drafted first overall last month.

While character concerns about Mayfield were among the few knocks on him during the pre-draft process, Ross has no worries about Mayfield’s personality or ability to succeed in the NFL.
