Josh Rosen isn’t the only quarterback in the 2018 NFL Draft who has a preference for where he plays

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield was caught on Instagram Live commenting on a video with Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills.

The Heisman winner, whose Instagram account is verified, commented that he wishes to join the Dolphins.

Mayfield commented in the live stream #GetMeToMiami in an apparent plea to the Dolphins management to draft him.

Miami holds the 11th overall pick and will likely consider adding a quarterback of the future. Ryan Tannehill missed the entire season after aggravating a knee injury in the preseason. Head coach Adam Gase brought veteran Jay Cutler out of retirement to start for the Dolphins, who finished the year 6-10 with no hopes of making the playoffs.

The 11th pick would be the range NFL talent evaluators predict Mayfield to go in the NFL Draft this spring if he makes it past the quarterback-needy teams early. Cleveland holds two of the top-four picks and Denver sits at number five. Both the New York Jets and Giants will look for a quarterback in the first round, although the Giants are candidates to trade back.

Mayfield won the Heisman Trophy and took the Sooners to the first round of the College Football Playoffs. He’ll play in the Reese’s Senior Bowl before going to the NFL Combine in Indianapolis.

In 48 collegiate games, Mayfield threw 131 touchdowns with 30 interceptions and over 14,000 yards. He’ll battle off the field concerns and an expected struggle to translate into the NFL from Oklahoma.
