Baker Mayfield has been getting roasted today for looking like the starting quarterback for Whitesnake in an underwear photo shoot, but it’s hard to criticize his acting work in a clip the Browns posted to Twitter of Mayfield impersonating Cleveland’s gum chomping, old school football guy John Dorsey in a skit for the Browns rookie show.
Baker, dressed in Dorsey’s signature sweatshirt and “Air Dorsey’s,” runs through a mini-motivational speech that is 100% spot on. We’ll just go out on a limb here and guess Colin isn’t going to be in love with this either, but rookie shows are a team activity, and this is a pretty solid performance.
