CLEVELAND -- He may have taken home Professional Athlete of the Year honors at the Cleveland Sports Awards on Wednesday night, but Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield acknowledged that losing out on NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year to New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will serve as a motivating force.
"I'll use it as motivation, but the more important thing is winning football games," Mayfield said.
The two are good friends, so Mayfield smiled when asked if Barkley had already used his bragging rights.
"Yeah, he has," Mayfield said.
