Is UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton the NFL's next Baker Mayfield?

If anybody should be ecstatic that Baker Mayfield was the first quarterback taken and the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, it is UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton.

And if anybody should immediately become a passionate Cleveland Browns backer and be cheering for Mayfield to lead the buffoonish Brownies from the toilet bowl to the Super Bowl, it is also McKenzie Milton.

Every victory Mayfield records, every touchdown pass he throws and every undersized-quarterback stereotype he overcomes all significantly improve Milton’s future NFL Draft status.

“I think smaller quarterbacks naturally have a chip on their shoulder; something else to prove,” UCF head coach Josh Heupel says.
