He was an elite player in college for three seasons.
His rookie season he stepped into an 0-16 team and almost got them to .500 (7-8-1) while breaking the rookie record for passing tds. He had a bit of a slump his second season, but last year he had a 96 passer rating with 26 td and only 8 ints.
Mayfield is legit.
People just don't like him because he comes off as a prick. He came off as a prick coming out of college, he came off as a prick when he was throwing shade at the Bengals coaches and fans. But, he does a lot for our veterans, even to the point of getting in dutch with the coaches because he's signing things for them at camp when he's supposed to be on the field. I really didn't like him before I found out all the things he does. He's ok, and he's a good QB.
