Mayfield keeping list of media whose criticisms have 'crossed a line'

Baker Mayfield spent the last three years proving every doubter wrong while at Oklahoma, cementing himself as a first-round pick in this year's draft.

However, despite winning the Heisman trophy in his final year in college, the brash quarterback still has those who don't believe in his abilities.

For those media members who he deems to have "crossed a line" with their criticisms, Mayfield is keeping a list of names as motivation, he told Russell Wilson during filming for ESPN's QB2QB, according to Robert Klemko of the MMQB.

"It really doesn't bother me that much because I know the people that say some of these things have never actually taken a snap behind center, never had a 300-pound lineman about to hit them while they have to read the defense downfield," Mayfield said. "If I was worried too much about it, I'd be worried about the wrong things.

"But I do use some of it as motivation. I can listen to all the people patting me on the back, or I can listen to the people saying I need to get better. I know I need to get better, or else there would be nobody saying that."

Mayfield is expected to be the third or fourth quarterback off the board on April 26, though he should still land in top 15 picks in what's a stacked quarterback draft class.
