On the eve of the 2018 NFL draft, Baker Mayfield is having some fun with history.

The Oklahoma quarterback, in line to be a top-five pick on Thursday, posted a photo Wednesday night of his recreation of Hall of Famer Brett Favre's famous draft-day scene.

Mayfield also attached a quote attributed to Favre.

Favre's photo was taken by photographer Tim Isbell of the Biloxi Sun Herald on April 12, 1991, at the quarterback's home in Fenton, Miss. The Southern Mississippi star waited until the sixth pick of the second round (No. 33 overall) to be drafted by the Atlanta Falcons. He would be traded to the Packers after his rookie season in what would be the launch of a Hall of Fame career.

“There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can’t do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they’re going to dislike you and that’s not going to change.” - Brett Favre #DraftEve #MMO pic.twitter.com/6bCE9SxqI6 — Baker Mayfield (@bakermayfield) April 26, 2018

Mayfield mirrored many elements from Favre's photo, right down to the jean shorts.

A native of Austin, Mayfield will not be among the 22 players on hand at AT&T Stadium for the draft.
