Baker Mayfield is now the Carolina Panthers starting quarterback for the 2022 season.

[{"selector":"#anim-d7d9d86e-7606-4352-adbc-b2dca2acd180 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e5d31f09-fbc1-4fdc-a916-1457e89a318f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-afc3445f-5d02-46ed-8737-f6817c2066e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(101.80412%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

He’ll be playing against his own team, the Cleveland Browns,

[{"selector":"#anim-05be0a62-1fe9-43b6-b546-90e7188c5304 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58ee028b-6884-4b53-9163-d5d38d298a51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b01b4157-b9dc-4b8d-b055-86e1356f307b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.09278%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

in his first regular-season game, so he’ll have a target on Baker since he knows him very well.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d565d9e-191c-46dc-acf9-86cbf18bed07 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d2b6a67-3584-442a-adaa-801d91f19046","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bef2955a-91a7-4faf-94e1-c48aedde29d4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.09278%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Garrett is taking his game seriously, refusing to let the hype distract him.

[{"selector":"#anim-9f592ec8-0c38-4cb3-b1f2-8b9fe6da8d39 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db01e64b-c9e9-45e3-bdef-c1d17f49de09","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e5182281-0798-4162-8c5d-245aa34396fb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(102.83505%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

With only a few days left until the team begins their kickoff weekend,

[{"selector":"#anim-605e0749-83f8-4196-b391-74eca8f22ff1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab623770-f4f4-46de-b1c8-b15e8009bc12","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c80455a-c148-4d82-b5c8-189e00946713","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(102.83505%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Garrett will stay focused on one opponent: The Packers.

[{"selector":"#anim-24c2165e-c25f-4df6-bc3c-ce2a5555ee05 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 6.962355679662356%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d22751b8-a433-43aa-8cd9-f4ecc132ede3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-110ea27e-9943-4b7c-9230-1cada5934e09","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(102.83505%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

A former teammate of Mayfield, Garrett doesn't see any rivalry with him.

[{"selector":"#anim-ee877083-a686-44b9-819d-81ee1ae8e624 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4bf64e7d-6676-471a-8164-b3be07359e1d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a6672c0c-ee03-44f8-9fe9-a38c204d1d5a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.09278%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

As one of the best defensive ends, every other team has to game plan to take Garrett out of their game.

[{"selector":"#anim-b53f5746-ec8c-4f86-8fd2-6c32f5661186 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0d6c37df-f68b-4fc1-859d-e9eab638ce7c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88f548e7-8878-43bd-8f0d-d4d8fd605cd4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(102.83505%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Garrett is Carolina's primary focus and will need to block the quarterback from Cleveland.

[{"selector":"#anim-9d30fcb2-e496-4e2e-ba92-5718b3d79e3d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76f3dcf7-74b1-4d25-8c92-4fd204a452f3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-93560e99-fc9f-49b0-a1b6-2539d23b1fa2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.09278%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Mayfield has been able to keep diplomacy in the situation since he's been traded to Carolina,

[{"selector":"#anim-f490f4a6-df42-420f-a5cd-0be5ea798164 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, 7.871373143723144%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":6000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-018a90d3-91ae-426b-ae52-96c384ec429e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c55ac5ce-cdaa-43f9-92ae-c4e2c0983d80","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(103.09278%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

but eventually, he will have to talk about the reality which awaits him.
