Colin Cowherd: “I think Baker Mayfield did something last week that I wasn’t sure he was capable of. I've watched him in the NFL and college be incredibly juvenile. Some of the media experts called it ‘leadership’ but I thought it was incredibly dumb. Grabbing your junk, throwing the ball at other players, dissing guys, planting flags, and calling out medical staff… But he went on several shows last week and showed contrition and real maturity. I want to see him in the regular season, but I didn’t even think he was capable of getting to THIS point. The first way to solve a problem is admit you got a problem, and in this interview he admitted it.” (Full Video Above)
