Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield showcased his ridiculous arm during Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

After completing a 66-yard pass to Breshad Perriman early on, Mayfield decided to complete another incredible play to Jarvis Landry, which resulted in a 51-yard touchdown strike to help the Browns tie the game.

What's even more impressive is that the play happened on in a 3rd and 17 situation, and it involved Mayfield putting it between two Carolina defenders for the score.

The former Oklahoma star has undoubtedly lived up to the hype since taking over as Cleveland's starting quarterback earlier in the season, and he's helped the Browns be a whole lot more fun to watch.

Yes, it's still going to take some time before we start mentioning Cleveland in the discussion as a possible Super Bowl contender, but the Browns clearly made the right move in selecting Mayfield with the top overall pick.

And considering that he's still a rookie, he's only going to get better from here. Add in the fact that the Browns will be bringing in a new head coach to specifically help develop him and things could not look brighter for Mayfield moving forward.

The most important part of his development will come when the Browns pick their new head coach, and it's obviously essential that the team's front office find the right fit so that Mayfield can meet his potential.

After the showdown with the Panthers, the Browns will return to the field in Week 15 to take on the Denver Broncos.
