Tyreek Hill can turn this QB into Tom Brady
Baker Mayfield orchestrated a come from behind win for the Los Angeles Rams just 48 hours after joining on a waiver. He shattered the Las Vegas Raiders with a 98-yard game winning drive in the fourth quarter in week 14. Just like Tom Brady would.
After Mayfield channeled his inner Brady against the Raiders, Tyreek Hill has suggested the new Rams QB can play like the seven-time Super Bowl champion. Speaking on Shannon Sharpe’s ‘Club Shay Shay’ podcast, the Dolphins WR said that he is certain that Mayfield has the potential of playing at the level of Tom Brady.
“If he playin on me, yeah. Come on now, if he playin on me yeah,” Hill said on the question of Mayfield turning into Brady.
The Dolphins WR pointed towards Mayfield’s Bradyesque performance just 48 hours after arriving from the Carolina Panthers.
“You see what he did last night. Game winning drive, 98 yards. He went crazy. Now how you won it, Baker Mayfield, what a dub. Hey Baker Mayfield, I’m on your side bro. Come on,” Hill said.
It has been quite a year for both Mayfield and Hill. Both changed teams at the beginning of the season but one thrived and the other faced a waiver. But Mayfield turned it around instantly when he arrived in Los Angeles.
The Baker Mayfield saga
Baker Mayfield left the Cleveland Browns when the franchise signed Deshaun Watson as the starting QB before the 2022 season. But his life at the Panthers didn’t go well. The QB did not perform as expected and the team struggled to post wins. Mayfield got injured in week 6, shortly after the Panthers fired HC Matt Rhule. After initially benching him for few weeks, and after game week 13, the Panthers let him go on a waiver.
