27-year-old quarterback Baker Mayfield has been having a pretty awful season by his standards. Earlier in July, the Cleveland Browns traded him to the Carolina Panthers for a conditional fifth-round draft pick. A few days back, he asked for his release from the Panthers and decided to sign with the Los Angeles Rams. Certainly, he has shifted plenty of times this year from one place to another, and his wife Emily Mayfield recently shared her whole experience throughout all this.

Notably, after a series of poor performances this season, the Panthers demoted him. After a lack of game time, he decided to shift track and joined the Rams. As per his wife, it has been a challenging year for the quarterback as well as her.

At first, he looked a little bit nervous; however, he became a completely different person in the fourth quarter. Notably, the Rams were losing the game against the Raiders by 3-16 in the fourth quarter. In the last 4 minutes, Mayfield changed the game with his incredible passing ability. In the end, his game-winning throw to WR Van Jefferson won them the game. Although the season looks pretty much over for the last season’s Super Bowl champion, Mayfield could become a star next season, if he finds his form under the HC Sean McVay.
