Earlier this evening, Baker Mayfield - a noted thorn in the side of all Mountaineers - was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Of course, the Big 12 Conference didn’t waste any time to congratulate the former walkon via Twitter.
Even better for the Big 12 is that next year they’re going to be able to celebrate something that hasn’t been done since 1998-99, and never in the Big 12’s history: two quarterbacks from the same conference selected first overall in the NFL Draft in back-to-back years.
