6 years agoCleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has begun to get some chances to work against the first-team defense in training camp. The Browns are still firmly planning to use Tyrod Taylor as the team's starting quarterback this season but they did want to give Mayfield some experience against an NFL-caliber starting defense. According to reports, Mayfield has been starting to carve up the team's second-string defense so the coaching staff wanted to give him a shot to see what is it like to go against NFL starters. Mayfield will open the season as the backup quarterback behind Taylor but he could see some game action by the end of the season.--Matt T - RotoBaller
