I absolutely am.”Kaepernick always explained what the message was behind his protests, but despite his constant explanations that he was calling for attention to be paid to how Black Americans were treated by police in this country, it became a debate about whether it was somehow disrespectful to the flag or the military. I’ve never quite seen anything like it,” former Giants quarterback Eli Manning has said of Barkley’s legs. I know we have a long way to go as Americans and quite frankly human beings. That’s the only thing that matters.”“Shoutout Baker Mayfield for coming through on the bet,” Barkley wrote on Twitter with a photo of the Browns quarterback holding the chain.Mayfield joked that he was going to get Barkley’s nickname “Sa-quads,” but it would have cost too much money for the extra letters.Barkley was asked about the photo and backed up the Browns QB.Barkley’s legs have become a viral sensation since he entered the league, becoming the physical embodiment of the saying, “don’t skip leg day.” Barkley can squat 650 pounds, clean more than 400 pounds and, according to ESPN, holds a bevy of records in the Penn State weight room.Mayfield wrote on an Instagram story: “Ya’ll don’t forget about this account…follow it!”
1 overall pick to select the former OU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner.
Mayfield likely knows that his buddy Saquon thinks its creepy to have an account posting strictly about his legs, prompting the post on Instagram. All rights reserved.Will Jones produce at a similar level for the Giants?
He will have to start his career as the backup to Eli Manning, but the belief is that the rookie from Duke will be the top quarterback for years to come. On the latter front, a number of players have spoken up and taken the league to task for how it’s responded in the past to protests and calls to action to address police violence, most notably in Colin Kaepernick continuing to be kept out of the league for his silent and peaceful protests of kneeling prior to games during the national anthem.Mayfield’s star teammate Odell Beckham Jr. has likewise made his intentions clear this season, and there is clearly a movement happening at the NFL’s star level in terms of garnering support for those with the biggest platforms to take a stand and join in on protesting police brutality and racism. He was simply trying to explain how the NFL views incoming quarterbacks. Baker Mayfield's good year just got better.In April, the Cleveland Browns used the No. Drew Brees parroted that criticism recently and got roundly called out by teammates, others from around the league, and stars from other sports, and has since recanted and promised to listen and learn, even going so far as to explain to Donald Trump why his initial statement was wrong.To make clear why he would be doing this, Mayfield posted a message to is Instagram story explaining that “it’s about equality” and, again, noted that it has nothing to do with the flag but about conveying the needed message on the platform provided to them to do so, citing conversations had between Kaepernick and his veteran teammate, Nate Boyer.Baker also took responsibility for into being educated enough on the systemic issues that face Black Americans and not using his platform previously to speak out on the issue. On Saturday, Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield posted a video to his Instagram in which he can be seen training while wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt with the phrase “I Can’t Breathe” written on the front.
And that’s from the heart.Mayfield’s remarks have gotten some blowback, but also support.These social justice protests have brought back into the conversation the idea of sports figures kneeling during the national anthem, which was initiated by Colin Kaepenick in 2016.Others have been drawn into the kneeling conversation as well.The “Nate” Mayfield referenced is Green Beret Nate Boyer, who “came to an agreement” with former San Francisco 49er quarterback Colin Kaepernick to kneel rather than sit during the national anthem.Another user wrote: “I’m proud of you Baker!
