Baker Mayfield’s most long-standing rivalry isn’t with anybody in the NFL—it’s with Fox Sports radio blowhard Colin Cowherd.
Cowherd’s disdain for Mayfield dates all the way back to the quarterback’s days at Oklahoma. Before the 2018 NFL draft, Cowherd pointed to a 2017 video of Mayfield running from police in Arkansas as the reason why he should be “undraftable.” After the Browns decided Mayfield was not only draftable, but worthy of being the top overall pick, he appeared in-studio on Cowherd’s show wearing a hoodie with the word “undraftable” on the front. In that interview, Cowherd talked down to Mayfield and tried to paint him as a bad teammate.
