Buccaneers assistant coach Ken Zampese worked with Baker Mayfield in Cleveland back in 2018. He now says the Browns had their top quarterback and simply messed up by trading him away.
Ken Zampese served as Mayfield's quarterbacks coach during the player's rookie season with the Browns. In recent comments, Zampese made it clear he felt Cleveland already held its franchise signal caller at the time. He believes the team failed to recognize that value and instead chose to move on. Zampese's remarks highlight his long-standing confidence in Mayfield's abilities from their shared time together. The coach's perspective adds another voice to ongoing discussions about the quarterback's early career path and the decisions that shaped it.
