Why OU tight end Mark Andrews is the Sooners' most important skill player not named Baker Mayfield

NORMAN — Mark Andrews isn't the fastest guy among Oklahoma's pass catchers; that distinction falls to Marquise Brown, the mighty mite of a junior college transfer.

Andrews isn't the most hyped in the group either; that would be graduate transfer Jeff Badet.

But here's one superlative for Andrews — most important.

No Sooner pass catcher is more important than the junior tight end. Heck, no skill player not named Baker Mayfield is more important than Andrews.
