Mayfield sits behind Saquon Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick and the projected starting running back for the New York Giants. He’s ahead of all his rookie QB brethren.

What’s intriguing about Mayfield’s favorable odds is that he’s not the projected starter in Cleveland. The Oklahoma product is the No. 2 behind veteran Tyrod Taylor, who was brought in specifically so the team wouldn’t have to rush another rookie into the fray. Taylor is the clear-cut starter as the Browns approach training camp.
