Offensive Scheme Fits His Strengths
Now, the Browns clearly had a weak offensive line last year, but the best way to disguise that is with play action and getting your quarterback out of the pocket or quick read throws.
According to Pro Football Reference, the Browns ranked ninth overall with 25.09% of their plays being play-action, which is great, but imagine if they did it more. Kevin Stefanski and the Vikings ran play action on over 30% of their plays. That will only help Mayfield in his ultimate development in the Stefanski offense.
