Speaker 1 (00:04):
Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Baker, I've done this a few times. I've never been
more excited to talk to a player than I am
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Dude, I'm ready. How's life?
Speaker 4 (00:14):
How are you doing?
Speaker 5 (00:15):
Good man? Not a whole lot to complain about. Family's good. Obviously,
dealing with some adversity in the building with the injuries
and whatnot. But you know, it's just a good opportunity
to see what people are made of and continue to
lead in a good way.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
You mentioned family.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I was watching an interview this week that you and
your wife Emily did with Michelle Bisner Buck and in
the middle of it, Emily says, Baker's not for everybody.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
What a quote, what a wife take? How do you
explain what she means by that?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah? That brutally honest on her parts, But I love
it. It's for me.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
It's to explain that just being honest with everybody, you know,
saying what I'm thinking, and that comes with good and bad,
you know, obviously going through things, admitting when I'm wrong
and not, but also being I guess, just upfront and open.
Not everybody likes that, but that's okay, And it's just
trying to keep the relationships positive that you know, people
(01:08):
I directly work around, the family, friends, loved ones, and
obviously people in the building. And I think transparency is
one of the most important things.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Mm hm.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
When you have someone who doesn't like how candid you are,
can you tell right away that maybe.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
This is the person I'm not for them?
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Pretty quick? Yeah, you can tell pretty quick. That's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, I think it's fun because you have taken so
much from talking heads and fans right now, dude, you
are a darling. People love you right now. What is
it like being in your beloved era?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Honestly, just threw all the ups and downs.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Yeah, you know, being at the peak of it when
it came to college and then obviously the draft getting
picked number one overall, and then you feel the highs
and then obviously I had the crash and burn there
a couple of low years. And so for me, it's
it's not getting too high, not getting too low, really
being in the moment, being where my feet are at,
trying to do everything I possibly can to lead this
(02:01):
organization the best way and go from there.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
And it's after, you know, being year eight.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Now you realize the outside opinions truly don't matter. It's
how you handle the relationships in the building, how you
come to every day to work, how you lead, how
you play, how you communicate with people. And if I
can walk away from the building each day with my
head held high about the relationships and how I handled
each thing. It doesn't have to be perfect, but I
can be proud of that.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
You've had always this thing where I was a walk on.
Nobody wanted me, this team gave up on me, nobody's
given up on you. Now you have a home, you
have respect, you're winning, and you're paid. It's everything. How
do you keep that, Baker Mayfield? Nobody believes in me?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Edge?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
When everybody believes in you?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, when you can always revert back to the memories
and the feelings of when you are at your lowest point,
when you have a home and a place that you
can feel comfortable, Not that I'll ever feel comfortable.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
You never want to let it go.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
Once you get a taste a winning, once you get
to takee success in what this operation a day day
life in the NFL is supposed to look like. You
don't want to let that go, and so's your hanging
onto that for dear life and trying to improve in
every way possible and go from there.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
You want to protect it, which I've earned. Absolutely. You
have a great thing here, and you mentioned the highs
the lows.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
I brought some pictures for you today, a boy, Oh yeah,
I got pictures. Your career is really a career of images,
just like these. We'll say about that. I got some
of the folder. I'm going to take you through a few,
and I just want you to how does a picture
make you feel? And what do you want to say
about it? Here's this one.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
This is one of the ones that I was thinking,
that's one of the bad ones. What do you mean,
look like I've been rode hard and put up wet
in this. The mustache not a good look. Probably should
have touched up the hair ready for the press conference.
Yeah's that's in the midst of a struggle. You can
tell that game probably didn't go very well.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I don't think it did.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Is we're sitting here in Florida now, it's easy to
look at that and things are better about Cleveland. Them
partying ways with you is something that is aged terribly,
especially given the person they brought in to replace you.
What has it been like from a distance watching them
struggle to develop a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
It's tough to not pay attention to it, just because
there's still people there that are genuine friends and we're
there for instrumental years of my life in this next
chapter of the journey in the NFL. So watching from afar,
but also then trying to balance that with what is
really important, and that's how I handle my stuff here
and checking in every once in a while with people,
(04:29):
but after that it's I got priorities here in Tampa.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Are you on the text threads? Like still checking in?
How do you check in?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Uh?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Not really not really check in, kind of know what's
going on, but just asking people how they're doing, how
the families are doing, and go from there.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
All right, picture too, I'll take that one. I see
this picture everywhere. It's an infamous picture. I'm sure you
I'm sure you've seen it before.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yep, you laugh?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, how does it make you feel proud?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
You know?
Speaker 5 (04:58):
This is a twenty twenty two with Carolina was a
year that you know, after what I call being in
MBO technically being on the Cleveland roster in the off season,
but knowing I wasn't going to play for the Browns again,
not knowing where I was going to be, and then
getting traded early July, but not meeting my teammates till
training camp. So I looked at twenty twenty two, is okay,
(05:19):
how can I be the best version of myself no
matter what role I had? And that's from going in
and competing with Sam and also having PJ Walker in
the room. How can I support these guys whether I'm
starting backup or inactive. And this was this was during
a Blitz pick up period, and we're talking about protections,
different twists and stunts and so just trying to give
(05:40):
the guys that not that I'm going to give them
a good pass rush look by any means, but just
so they communicate and pass stuff off.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
And that's for me.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
That was when I was leaving Cleveland, some things got
out that I was a bad teammate. That's something that
I just I won't stand for. That'll never be true
about me. So it's I'm proud to say that in
whatever role I had in Carolina, I did it with
one hundred percent effort and control everything I possibly could
and Yeah, tape up the ankle when it's sprained and
give the team a good scout team defensive end.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Look, it looks kind of badass. It's got three point.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
I'm gonna have a high motor, probably not going to
quit to the whistle.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
A lot of tape.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Coach's son, Jim Rat you know that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Kurt Warner told me once in his very unique Hall
of Fame career that there was a time he was
running scout team for the Cardinals and he's like, what
am I doing? And this might be the end? Was
there ever a moment for you through the journey where
you're like, I don't know if this is going to
work out.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I don't know if it for me. I don't know
if it got to that point. I think it was.
It was close to that.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
And the refreshing part was the end of twenty two
when I got to La. You know, I got released
by the Panthers. Go to La, found the joy and
fun in football again with McVeigh and learning from those
guys because we had nothing to lose.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I was.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
I had five games with them before I went into
free agency, five games to learn from them. They weren't
going to the playoffs. I wasn't doing anything. I didn't
know where I was going, where that next chapter was
going to be. So how can I just hit the
reset button, find that fun and football game and go
from there. And so I don't know if I necessarily
got to the point where I was questioning am I
ever going to start again? Because of that refresher there
(07:12):
in La.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Rahms Baker as a legend an alzheimer I got.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
I got pretty fat out there about two months of
hotel food and not good.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, here's the last picture.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
This one's special because this hasn't been taken yet, but
I think it will be taken.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I wonder how this makes you feel.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
It's a good photoshop. I mean, that's the goal.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
And that's you know when people ask, like you talk
about how do you continue to have that edge? I
don't have one of these yet. And that's as a quarterback,
as a high competitor. This is this is the ultimate goal.
And so like I was saying, once you get a
taste of success, it's we have the team to do it.
And when that is a reality, that makes you strive
and work even harder for it. And that's I mean,
(07:56):
that's that's a big one. So hopefully that it'll be
real and I won't have a mustache in the real.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
One, don't have a super mustache. Should be get there, right,
There's no telling what I'll do at that point.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
All right, So here's going to play to something that
is is one of your strengths.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But I want to get through this. You are a
master deflector.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You're maddeningly self deprecating any comment that's positive or any
compliment that comes to you. It's the teammates, it's your line,
it's the coaches, it's the fans, which is great, But
I want to know something that you personally do on
the field that you think you are great at and
deserve praise for.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
What do you do really well on the field?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
I mean, I think I can make every throw that
a quarterback needs to make. I think I've always had
a special arm talent. But for me now, I think
the best thing on the field is just the communication.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You get guys on the same page, and but.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
That that's well before we get on the field on
game day. Yeah, that's that's throughout the week and that's
but that's also a tribute to the guys paying attention
to being locked in to where we've talked about certain
things and meetings and you know, every week you have
a two minute meeting and this year we've had I
don't know how many two minute drives that we've needed.
And so guys realize that when we cover this stuff
in meetings, it's vital on game day, it's really really important.
(09:13):
So I think the stuff that I communicate throughout the
week and then when that communication comes to life on
Sundays or whatever day we play, that's that's the most
important part.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And you got a rocket arm, you can make every
throw and you're scramblings just getting better with age.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah, I don't understand that part. It'll be confusing for
me for a long time.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, we love it in the media, and that's why
I want to end with media. You have a very
colorful relationship with the media, up down, everywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
It's always interesting to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What is something in NFL media that you admire and respect.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I think if if you're open and honest with them,
they're not going to beat you down. I think if
you try and say something but do something else, I
don't know, being authentic.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I think good reporters.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Good media respect that and they're not going to tear
you down when you're telling them this is where I
messed up, flat out.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
That's on me. I gotta be better, I gotta do this.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I think that's that's the part that's special is when
you actually build a relationship. You're not saying that they're
the enemy, but you can just have a general conversation
with them.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That's the important part.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What is something in the NFL media that's just it
just drives you crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
You know, some of the storylines get old, but it's
it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
They gotta get paid.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
They got to pay their bills too, So answer the
questions and move on even if you don't like them.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You said something hilarious recently, I'm getting a champion now,
but next week it's because I was arrogant or something
like That's you were right on with that, Yeah, and
that resonates with you.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
At an early age, my dad introduced me to the
movie The Natural and there's a quote in there, you
know whatever, they're still going to write the story, so
control what you can. And I think, you know, for me,
it's being authentic, being myself, owning up to mistakes, being
proud of who I am and not afraid to admit
that I don't have it figured out, you know, but
if people are learning along with me a lot on
(11:04):
the way, Not everybody needs to act like they have
it figured out, because nobody really does. You're still trying
to progress, improve each day, and that's to me, that's important.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You got some Roy Hobbs and you, dude, that's really cool. Listen.
You may not be for everybody, but I think you're
the man.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Appreciate thanks.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
What a quote, what a wife take? How do you
explain what she means by that?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Yeah? That brutally honest on her parts, But I love
it. It's for me.

It's to explain that just being honest with everybody, you know,

you know, obviously going through things, admitting when I'm wrong

that's that's a big one. So hopefully that it'll be
real and I won't have a mustache in the real.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
One, don't have a super mustache. Should be get there, right,
There's no telling what I'll do at that point.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
All right, So here's going to play to something that
is is one of your strengths.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
But I want to get through this. You are a
master deflector.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You're maddeningly self deprecating any comment that's positive or any
compliment that comes to you. It's the teammates, it's your line,
it's the coaches, it's the fans, which is great, But
I want to know something that you personally do on
the field that you think you are great at and
deserve praise for.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
What do you do really well on the field?
Speaker 5 (08:37):
I mean, I think I can make every throw that
a quarterback needs to make. I think I've always had
a special arm talent. But for me now, I think
the best thing on the field is just the communication.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
You get guys on the same page, and but.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
That that's well before we get on the field on
game day. Yeah, that's that's throughout the week and that's
but that's also a tribute to the guys paying attention
to being locked in to where we've talked about certain
things and meetings and you know, every week you have
a two minute meeting and this year we've had I
don't know how many two minute drives that we've needed.
And so guys realize that when we cover this stuff
in meetings, it's vital on game day, it's really really important.
(09:13):
So I think the stuff that I communicate throughout the
week and then when that communication comes to life on
Sundays or whatever day we play, that's that's the most
important part.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And you got a rocket arm, you can make every
throw and you're scramblings just getting better with age.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Dude.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah, I don't understand that part. It'll be confusing for
me for a long time.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, we love it in the media, and that's why
I want to end with media. You have a very
colorful relationship with the media, up down, everywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
It's always interesting to watch.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
What is something in NFL media that you admire and respect.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
I think if if you're open and honest with them,
they're not going to beat you down. I think if
you try and say something but do something else, I
don't know, being authentic.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I think good reporters.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Good media respect that and they're not going to tear
you down when you're telling them this is where I
messed up, flat out.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
That's on me. I gotta be better, I gotta do this.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
I think that's that's the part that's special is when
you actually build a relationship. You're not saying that they're
the enemy, but you can just have a general conversation
with them.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
That's the important part.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
What is something in the NFL media that's just it
just drives you crazy.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
You know, some of the storylines get old, but it's
it is what it is.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
They gotta get paid.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
They got to pay their bills too, So answer the
questions and move on even if you don't like them.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You said something hilarious recently, I'm getting a champion now,
but next week it's because I was arrogant or something
like That's you were right on with that, Yeah, and
that resonates with you.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
At an early age, my dad introduced me to the
movie The Natural and there's a quote in there, you
know whatever, they're still going to write the story, so
control what you can. And I think, you know, for me,
it's being authentic, being myself, owning up to mistakes, being
proud of who I am and not afraid to admit
that I don't have it figured out, you know, but
if people are learning along with me a lot on
(11:04):
the way, Not everybody needs to act like they have
it figured out, because nobody really does. You're still trying
to progress, improve each day, and that's to me, that's important.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You got some Roy Hobbs and you, dude, that's really cool. Listen.
You may not be for everybody, but I think you're
the man.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Appreciate thanks.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Baker.
