It’s high noon...
On Thursday Night Football, AFC North division rivals Pittsburgh and Cleveland will face off. But the game has a bit more to it this year with the quarterbacks being rivals in college. Jake Trotter of ESPN wrote a great piece about how Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield became pals off the field.
Before they ever faced off on the field, the two became friendly off of it through mutual buddies.
Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight, whom Mayfield later beat out, and Oklahoma State wide receiver Austin Hays, who became one of Rudolph’s favorite receivers, were best friends from high school in San Antonio.
