BEREA, Ohio -- Future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, who will face the Browns on Sunday in New Orleans, paid Baker Mayfield the ultimate compliment on Wednesday.
"I think he can be a lot better than me,'' Brees said on a conference call. "Man, he's got all the tools. He's more athletic, he probably can run around better, he's got a stronger arm. Listen, he's got all the tools.''
Despite the fact Brees grew up not far from Mayfield, their paths have never crossed. But he followed the Heisman Trophy winner's career at Oklahoma nonetheless, in part because those in the 6-foot and under club stick together.
