A couple months ago, Baker Mayfield donated $17,900 to help the Space Coast High School football program in Florida buy equipment. The Vipers, who went 1-8 last season, just went 10-3 and won the state championship. (via Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
You gotta get to know Baker to appreciate him. Was not a fan watching him at OU from afar. My transformation to "fan" began watching him as the opposing QB in the epic 2018 Rose Bowl against my Dawgs. Yes, he lost. But he put everything he had into that game and showed exceptional grit and leadership he "converted" me. His journey as a pro has done nothing but add to that.
Great story, and thank you for sharing. Aside from getting choked up hearing about this for the first time, another big thing that stood out to me was Baker's reaction to the question. His maturity and professionalism have been remarkable to watch develop from the loose cannon QB from Oklahoma through the gauntlet of various underperforming NFL franchises to a ladder making an impact beyond. As spectators, we've been able to watch Baker's evolution and see his transformation as an athlete and professional. Phenomenal action and response! #PayitForward
Great
