Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Mayfield’s best trait is his ability to get downhill against the run. Not only does he have excellent reactions, but his run fits are remarkably sound, and he can get to the line in a hurry. So many of his 26 tackles for loss as a junior were plays that a normal linebacker would have made three yards down the field, even with the correct read. Mayfield, though, is fast enough to fill holes at the line of scrimmage. He’s also a fierce competitor and hard-hitter, with six forced fumbles in 2025.
