Baker Mayfield was in New Jersey on Friday, but not to meet with the New York Jets or New York Giants. No, those meetings will occur in a few weeks. This time, he visited the Garden State to collect some hardware.
The former Oklahoma star was feted at the Tropicana Atlantic City, where the Maxwell Football Club honored him with the Maxwell Award, given to the nation's top player. Before the festivities, Mayfield talked about his meeting with the Jets at the NFL scouting combine last weekend in Indianapolis.
"I did meet with them," he said before his news conference.
