Lamar Jackson and Baker Mayfield have been very close since their days back in college.
Lamar had no idea that Baker felt a way about his mother. Mayfield told a story about an encounter with her that left him intimidated.
“She told me stories, for me to get my ass down to Florida and work out with him and I politely declined after a few beverages at the Heisman ceremony,” Mayfield said. “She’s intimidating. There’s a reason why he’s so tough.”
Jackson was extremely shocked about Mayfield’s story.
It will be Mayfield’s first start since a Week 5 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in which he was replaced by Walker because of a high ankle sprain. He was the backup the past four games despite being healthy enough to play.
