Radio host said he'd 'eat horse poop' if Browns picked Baker Mayfield at No.1 in NFL draft - and they did

April 28, 2018

ARLINGTON, TX - APRIL 26: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell walks past a video board displaying an image of Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma after he was picked #1 overall by the Cleveland Browns during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium on April 26, 2018 in Arlington, Texas.

The Cleveland Browns shocked the NFL world by picking quarterback Baker Mayfield as their first pick, yesterday.

To give you an idea of just how shocking that pick was, a Cleveland radio host said on air that he would “eat horse poop” if the Browns selected Mayfield with the first pick.

Naturally, Twitter users didn’t pass up the opportunity to remind ESPN’s Aaron Goldhammer of his on-air claim.

Oklahoma quarterback Mayfield, a Heisman Trophy winner as college football’s best player, was not rated as the best quarterback in the draft by most experts.
