Baker Mayfield: 'I've put myself in a good spot' to be best QB in draft

NFL Draft hopeful Baker Mayfield completed his final public workout Wednesday at Oklahoma's Pro Day.

As Mayfield battles to be the first quarterback selected in April, the pivot is confident NFL teams will value him as much as he values himself behind center.

"It's kind of interesting to think, before the season, people had me at a third- or fourth-round grade," Mayfield said after his Pro Day, according to ESPN's Jake Trotter. "I've put myself in a good spot to be considered the best quarterback in the draft."

Satisfied with his performance at the NFL combine, the signal-caller stood on his numbers, but still went through passing drills for scouts and coaches traveling to Norman, Okla.

The former Sooner also turned heads at Lucas Oil Stadium, declaring that if anyone could turn the Browns around, it would be him. On Wednesday, he still appeared intrigued by the idea of being selected by a rebuilding franchise, but would also be comfortable going to a winning one.

"You can look at it like coming here (Oklahoma), a winning tradition, it would be like going to a franchise with a winning tradition," he said. "But then at the same time, if I went to a franchise that hasn't done well recently, I'd love to be the one to turn it around if I get the chance to do so."

Mayfield is squarely in contention to be selected near the top of the draft on April 26. The Jets, Dolphins, Browns, Bills, and Broncos have all reportedly expressed interest in the accomplished passer.

The Heisman Trophy winner also reiterated that he won't be attending the NFL draft at AT&T Stadium, and is instead planning to watch from his hometown of Austin, Texas.
