Mayfield throws 3 interceptions during OTAs

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield got off to a rough start during Wednesday's organized team activities.

Mayfield, selected first overall in the 2018 draft, threw three interceptions and almost had two more passes picked off, according to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.

The reigning Heisman winner wasn't solely at fault, with two of his three picks deflecting off receivers' hands.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson has reiterated throughout the offseason that Tyrod Taylor will remain the starting quarterback, while Mayfield has to earn his spot, and he doubled down on his comments Wednesday.

"Tyrod's our starting quarterback. Baker's our No. 1 pick," Jackson told Cabot. "He's our quarterback of the future. I've said that since this happened. I don't think that will change.''

There's still plenty of time for Mayfield to prove himself, but few could fault Browns fans for grimacing at this development.
