Baker Mayfield almost quit football for video games

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield is a very interesting individual.

Not only is the Texas Tech transfer a promising talent under center, he is also known for his impressive dance moves. There is another side of Mayfield that the world is getting to know now, too.

In a recent interview, Mayfield revealed that he is such an avid gamer that he nearly quit sports in high school to play video games.

Seriously.

“A lot of people don’t know this, but I almost quit sports in high school to play video games—which is the nerd coming out in me,” Mayfield said, via Campus Rush.
