Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns are not in the Super Bowl 56, but they are making rounds on social media thanks to Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
OBJ scored the first touchdown of the game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and all eyes quickly turned on Mayfield and his relationship with the wide receiver during their time together with the Browns. To recall, Beckham's frustration with the team and his lack of touches with Mayfield as the quarterback led to his midseason exit from Cleveland, eventually signing with the Rams after clearing waivers.
Ever since then, including his touchdown in the opening quarter of Super Bowl 56, Beckham has already scored seven TDs with Matthew Stafford throwing for the Rams. That's the same number of TDs he had with Mayfield and the Browns in two and half seasons.
Naturally with Beckham thriving alongside Stafford with the Rams, NFL fans couldn't help but troll Mayfield. While many previously criticized Beckham for his attitude with the Browns and some even defending Mayfield, the tables have now turned.

While it's unlikely Baker Mayfield has regrets about his failed partnership with Odell Beckham Jr., it might be different for Browns fans. After all, OBJ has become a key weapon for Los Angeles and it's not hard to imagine how things would have fared it only the two got along well and tapped onto their full potential together.

Baker Mayfield may be the biggest fraud in NFL history

The Browns and Odell are undoubtedly one of the biggest “What ifs” in NFL history. Unfortunately for Cleveland fans, they'll have to settle to watching their former star wideout succeeding in Los Angeles.
