Baker Mayfield Says Todd Haley Wasn’t Afraid To Criticize Players: ‘He Tore Me Apart’

The Cleveland Browns may still be less of a rival to the Pittsburgh Steelers than the other AFC North teams, but not too long ago, that seemed like it was going to change. After the Browns lost every single game during the 2017 season, they had the opportunity to draft quarterback Baker Mayfield.

Mayfield eventually flamed out with the Browns due to injuries, but during his rookie season, he seemed like he was going to completely change the culture in Cleveland. It seems one former Steelers offensive coordinator might have had played a big role in getting Mayfield ready for the NFL spotlight.
