Baker Mayfield was a content machine at Oklahoma and that has since translated to the NFL.
The former Sooners quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner was a part of a team with extraordinarily high expectations in 2019. The Cleveland Browns brought in Odell Beckham Jr. to pair up with Jarvis Landry for Mayfield.
Despite the season going completely the opposite way of those expectations, Mayfield and the Browns’ hype delivered in revenue sales as the former Oklahoma quarterback brought in the fifth-most sales among licensed NFL player-identified merchandise for the NFL calendar year from March 2019 to Feb. 29, 2020.
Baker Mayfield was No. 5 on the NFLPA’s player sales list (sales of officially licensed NFL player-identified merchandise) from March of last year through Feb. 29. Odell Beckham was 7th.

Cleveland ultimately decided to restart again by firing general manager John Dorsey and head coach Freddie Kitchens after the season. Mayfield had the worst year of his college or NFL career in 2019, throwing 21 interceptions to 22 touchdowns and a completion percentage under 60 percent.
The Browns have maintained their roster over the offseason to go with a brand new coaching staff in hopes they finally have the formula right this time.
Mayfield, Beckham Jr. and the rest of the extremely talented Cleveland roster will be propped up or brought down all offseason once again, which should churn out advertisement and sales for the two marketable players by the end of this NFL calendar year.
