Drama leading up to NFL Draft:
Where will Baker Mayfield land? His on-field antics as a member of the Oklahoma Sooners may have some worried, after a team reportedly hired a private investigator to tail him. Mayfield will not be attending the draft.
The hot takes won’t stop pouring in on Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, whether it be his size, accuracy or even his unwillingness to run routes at wide receiver.
