In his first interview since being traded to the Panthers Wednesday, Baker Mayfield was asked about his new teammate and fellow quarterback Sam Darnold. The two are expected to duel it out for the starting spot in Carolina this year.
“Sam reached out, got my number first,” Mayfield told Panthers.com. “We’ve been talking about how to get the guys together the last minute before camp. It’s been great. Sam just wants to win. That’s just who he is. Our personalities might be different, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have the same goal, and that’s to win and help this team out.
“I’m really looking forward to being in that room with him and just challenging each other, and elevating each other,” Mayfield added.
