Baker Mayfield is under enormous pressure as the number one overall pick to be the quarterback that finally delivers success to the Browns. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner isn't getting ahead of himself though, and knows he has a lot to learn in his rookie year both on and off the field. He'll certainly get the chance to do that sitting and learning behind Tyrod Taylor for now, but Browns fans will be baying for him to start at the first sign of adversity so he'll need to be ready faster than is probably ideal. Luckily for Mayfield, he's not just getting help from inside the Browns organisation. Former NFL quarterback Chad Pennington, who played in the league for 11 years, is informally mentoring the Browns rookie and is seemingly ready and willing to impart all his knowledge onto him. Pennington, a first-round pick of the Jets in the 2000, knows the rigours of the NFL inside out, and is also familiar with the pressures of being a high draft selection. The two-time NFL comeback player of the year was exposed to the harsh New York City media for six years as a starter and is ready to share all his experiences with Mayfield to help him tackle all possible eventualities as a rookie. The pair met at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL back in January and immediately struck it off to the point that Mayfield used Pennington as a resource and mentor to ready himself for the NFL combine. Their relationship continues to get stronger and Pennington has delivered a few key messages that he believes the former Oklahoma star will need to heed whilst he matures as a player and deals with fame on an even greater level than he experienced in college. Namely; remember who you are and how you got to this stage in your career. "My first piece of advice came from a place of transparency and honesty in saying that, 'Baker, you have to remember who you are, and that is a guy who was a twice walk-on in college, and without your work ethic and your talent, you would probably be a (graduate assistant) somewhere coaching,' " Pennington said per Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal. "The conflict is now people are treating him differently than who he knows he really is. And so he has to be able to distinguish the difference between (the two and tell himself), 'This is who people think I am and want to treat me this way because I am the first pick, I am a Heisman Trophy winner, but I, as Baker Mayfield, have to remember that I'm a twice walk-on, and I have to keep that edge about me, or this game and the entertainment value around this game will eat a player up and spit him out.' " Pennington said he raised one issue relating to that with Mayfield; his pre-draft facebook video series 'Behind Baker'. The former Jets QB doesn't want off field influences like that to distract the number one overall pick but thinks Mayfield does 'get it'. "Once you believe you're an entertainer, not a football player, your time is going to be limited in this league," he said. "(M
