Legendary Georgia running back Herschel Walker sees a bright future for Baker Mayfield.

While some have compared the Oklahoma quarterback's on-field play and off-field antics to former Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, Walker told TMZ Sports that Mayfield reminds him more of Brett Favre.

"He's a leader," Walker said. "Those guys follow him and any NFL team oughta be honored to have him."

Walker added that if he was an NFL owner, Mayfield "may be the first guy I take in the draft as my quarterback."
