Baker Mayfield hopes to distance himself from Johnny Manziel, but he doesn't mind following his path to the NFL.
Speaking Friday at the NFL Scouting Combine, Mayfield said he wouldn't mind being selected by the Cleveland Browns, and even relishes the opportunity to help the downtrodden franchise.
"If anyone's gonna turn them around, it's me," Mayfield said at his media availability. "They're close."

Manziel was a first-round draft choice by the Browns in 2014, but flamed out after two NFL seasons.
Mayfield believes he's among the most talented quarterbacks available in this year's draft.
"I'm the most accurate quarterback in this draft, by far," he said.
