Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield came to the defense of his newly acquired teammate Odell Beckham Jr. on Friday, saying he believes the wide receiver is going to fit right in with Cleveland.
Beckham has been known for his fiery personality both on and off the field, but Mayfield believes that won't be an issue. Mayfield pointed to Beckham's dedication to his teammates and his talent on the field.
"You could say the same thing about me. You don't want to tame it, you just let them be themselves and make plays," Mayfield said, via NFL.com.

People can have their attitudes and perspective on it, but he's himself and he has his teammates' back."
