Baker Mayfield says he feels "shame, guilt, and embarrassment" after his drunken arrest in Arkansas this weekend ... calling it "the biggest mistake of my life."
As we previously reported, the Oklahoma quarterback -- who finished 3rd in the 2016 Heisman voting -- allegedly ran from police after yelling profanities while wasted and covered in food.
He was arrested for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, fleeing and refusal to submit to arrest.
Now, the 21-year-old has issued a statement apologizing to his family, friends, teammates, the school and everyone else in his life.
"I made the biggest mistake of my life by putting myself in this situation," Mayfield said .
