Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was critical of his former coach
Ryan Finley Jersey Womens , Hue Jackson, for going to the division rival Bengals after getting fired by the Browns. With some time to reflect on that
this offseason, Mayfield says he hasn’t changed his opinion.Mayfield told ESPN
that beating the Bengals was a highlight of his rookie season, in part because
Jackson was on the opposing sideline.“I’m not gonna lie to you and say that the
first time I played Hue did not feel good. It’s human nature to want to get
revenge,” Mayfield said.In fairness to Jackson, it wasn’t his choice to leave
the Browns, and once they fired him

that.“I said what I meant,” Mayfield said. “Don’t stand up in front of us the
week before and try to tell us you’re doing everything for us, then go take a
job with a team we play twice a year. It was one of those honesty and respect
things.”Mayfield is honest about the fact that he doesn’t respect his former
coach’s decision to coach against the Browns last year.Fullback Ryan Hewitt
