FAVORITE TEAMS

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

It may be controversial for one or two, but my life’s been that way. The one athlete I respect the most and is also my favorite player is Baker Mayfield.

BAKER MAYFIELD

He’s been doubted and criticized by some fans, but everything he hears only makes him stronger and has something to prove. Baker’s gone through plenty throughout his life from being too small to not being that good of a quarterback to his personality being questionable. At the end of the day, he’s a team player, he’s a baller, and wants to win. Texas Tech overlooked him despite how good he played. The Browns gave him the boot after ending their winless streak and playoff drought and being within striking distance of upsetting Kansas City. What’s worse was he played on his injured shoulder, but the organization pretended like it didn’t mean a thing and replaced him for a hundred-million-dollar player who hasn’t played 50% of the game. He’s gone through many head coaches and offensive coordinators throughout his college and NFL career. As for his personality, the man had a chip on his shoulder for a long time and I can understand where he’s coming from. I can’t assume how he is off the field, but he seems like a genuine person. I hope someday I cross paths with him to see the whole thing for myself. As long as he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’ll always prove the doubters wrong. Boomer Sooner!!!
