WWE's The Miz Defends Baker Mayfield; '100%' Thinks Browns Will Go to Super Bowl 56
December 12, 2021
Many in Cleveland have given up on Baker Mayfield as a franchise quarterback.
But the Browns quarterback still has a fan in The Miz.
"He's injured. Like he's injured," Miz told TMZ Sports. "He's not playing to his highest caliber because he's injured. I mean, how good are you when you're injured, you know what I mean?"
The WWE Superstar said modern fans are too eager to get rid of quarterbacks and there is a reward in being patient.
"You kind of got to stick with people and be like, 'Look, this is our guy.' It's one thing, like, I remember a team that wasn't 6-6 that didn't win a game an entire season and I was still on the bandwagon."
Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported Mayfield will undergo offseason surgery on the labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. He has been playing with a harness for several weeks.
Miz has been a faithful Browns fan his whole life growing up in Cleveland. The two-time Grand Slam champion says he still "100 percent" believes a Super Bowl is coming back to his hometown this February.
The Browns are 6-6 heading into Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and would miss the playoffs if the season ended today.
