A viral photo over the weekend revealed that Baker Mayfield was an Uber driver during his time at Oklahoma.
ESPNs Darren Rovell quote tweeted a photo of Mayfield driving a young man on an Uber trip, and it didnt take long to blow up after that.
Rovell tweeted that the electric quarterback was an Uber driver as short ago as 2016.
In 2015 and some of 2016, @BakerMayfield was an @Uber driver in Norman while trying to make a name for himself with the Sooners. After being picked #1, with about $32.5M guaranteed coming, a past rider shares their trip. https://t.co/UpTqkHm2K7

Ive been very critical of Mayfield throughout the past year. There has certainly also been plenty of praise, but Ive made it known what I think about him.
Having said that, Mayfield going from an Uber driver to the first pick in the 2018 NFL draft is awesome. Its almost too wild to comprehend. Mayfield was a walk-on to start, which means he wasnt getting a dime in a assistance from the school.
He is going to be making millions of dollars over the next few years with the Cleveland Browns, and wont ever have to work again if hes smart with his money. Life is a crazy adventure that plays out in some of the most unexpected ways. From Uber driver to NFL quarterback is right up there is some of the craziest stories weve heard.
