When the Panthers announced that Baker Mayfield had won the team’s starting quarterback job, fans immediately turned their attention to Carolina’s Week 1 matchup against the Browns. As it turns out, so did Mayfield himself.
Mayfield reportedly had some choice words following Cleveland’s preseason finale against the Bills, when he said that he plans to “f— up” the Browns in Week 1, according to the Around the NFL Podcast. Inevitably, word of Mayfield’s remarks made it back to Cleveland, where former teammate Myles Garrett was asked about them on Tuesday.
“We’ve known he has that type of demeanor and that attitude, and for better or for worse, it works for him,” Garrett said, according to Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot. “And I’m not mad at him using that fire and that chip on his shoulder to help him play to the level he has. He’s been successful in what he’s done.’’
