After rifling a slant to fellow rookie Antonio Callaway — who shed Giants cornerback Leonard Johnson for a 54-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter Thursday night — Baker Mayfield took off sprinting to the end zone to celebrate with his wide receiver.
There are no Heisman Trophies for him to win in the NFL, but Mayfield’s NFL preseason debut in a 20-10 win over the Giants offered hope for the woebegone Browns and undoubtedly thrilled the HBO “Hard Knocks” people.
The controversial No. 1-overall pick of the NFL draft earlier scrambled twice for first downs on a drive that culminated with a 10-yard TD pass to TE David Njoku.
