Radio host Tony Grossi has been suspended by ESPN Cleveland for derogatory comments he made about Baker Mayfield.

Per an official statement from ESPN Cleveland, Grossi has been suspended indefinitely effective immediately.

In audio picked up from the NFL Scouting Combine, Grossi was heard referring to Mayfield as "a f--king midget."

Per Tom Withers of the Associated Press, a spokesman for Mayfield declined to comment on Grossi's use of the slur.

Grossi appeared to make the comment as he and others were heard discussing other recent highly drafted quarterbacks with Carson Wentz, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes mentioned in the clip.
