Season so far
With only one game logged this season, it is early to draw definitive conclusions, but Baker Mayfield currently sits at a detrimental 58.7 overall grade. His initial outing against Minnesota was polarized, as a solid 70.0 rushing grade could not offset a net-negative 56.4 passing mark across 60 dropbacks. Mayfield displayed explosive upside on scripted concepts and play-action, highlighted by a 40-yard touchdown pass and a 37-yard bootleg strike. However, his passing grade suffered from persistent issues finding throwing lanes, leading to at least five passes batted down at the line of scrimmage. Compounding those miscues, lapses in pocket awareness against extra rushers resulted in damaging sacks and late misfires that dragged down his overall performance.
