NORMAN, Okla. — While Baker Mayfield is captivating Sooner Nation and everyone else around the country as OU’s former walk-on quarterback turned Heisman Trophy contender in the fall, he’s doing something else on the side in the summer.

In addition to all the work in the weight room and commanding his team for a potential return trip to the College Football Playoff after they fell short against Clemson last season in Miami, Fla., Mayfield has been working as an Uber driver.

Yes, you read that right. An Uber driver.

One OU student documented his trip when No. 6 picked him and a group of friends up the other night.

“Honestly, it was pretty low key,” said senior Austin Robinson. "I was just pretty surprised and trying to play it cool. I’m sure every time he picked someone up they made a big deal out of it, but I was surprised.”

And justifiably so.

So were the other passengers in his car.

“There was a guy sitting in the back with us and the girls kept taking pictures of him while he was driving,” Robinson said.

So not only is Mayfield one of the best quarterbacks in the country; he’s also turning into a world class Uber driver as well.

For those that know his personality, though, this isn't the biggest surprise.

And oh, by the way, he's a pretty darn good player on the gridiron, too, where he threw for 3,700 yards and 36 touchdowns to only seven interceptions last season.
