Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma Sooners

Baker Mayfield is, without a doubt, my favorite quarterback prospect. He is your prototypical quarterback. He can do everything.

Mayfield is mobile, smart, but most of all, he makes everything look so easy. He has an incredibly quick release timing for a quarterback, and with his strong arm, you’re looking at a recipe for success.

Mayfield looked calm and collected in Oklahoma’s comeback against Kansas State. He was constantly hitting receivers in the sweet spot, and ran for two touchdowns. Not only is he accurate, but he is lightning fast.
