Odell Beckham, Baker Mayfield building chemistry at Browns minicamp

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and his new target Odell Beckham Jr. are building chemistry at the team’s mandatory minicamp.

Video evidence has surfaced of the beginning of one of the most exciting eras of Cleveland Browns football. Baker Mayfield and Odell Beckham Jr. are on the field together doing things.

If you’re a family member of TJ Carrie, please avert your eyes.

Just one day after missing out on signing free agent defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, the Browns took the field for their mandatory minicamp with Beckham and everyone else — including running back Duke Johnson Jr., who has requested to be traded — in attendance.

This play with Beckham working the slot in red zone skelly has the internet abuzz about the potential of this Browns team yet again.

It’s hard not to be excited about this, even as a completely non-Browns fan. Mayfield is one of the most riveting quarterback prospects to come along in some time. He has a confidence about him you usually only see from seasoned veteran players.

Beckham is coming over to a situation with a budding superstar at quarterback where he was previously spinning his wheels in a bad situation with the Giants, who have Eli Manning in the final years of his career.

Beckham is a superstar receiver entering the best years of his career going to play with a quarterback who can extract the best out of him and help him reach his true ceiling as a player.

In case you were wondering, that’s the spelled out reason of why everyone in Cleveland is so pumped for this pairing.

It’s also the primary move the Browns made that I think gives them the best overall offseason in the entire league. You can hear me and host Brooks Austin talk more about that on the NFL Mocks Podcast.

Let the exciting era of Cleveland Browns football begin.
