Baker Mayfield Claims He Never Heard Anything From Myles Garrett About Mason Rudolph Using A Racial Slur

The allegation made by Browns defensive end Myles Garrett that Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph used a racial slur during the massive brawl on Thursday Night Football threw social media in a complete frenzy.

It not only caught us off guard, but Garrett’s teammates as well.

Two Browns players were directly asked by ESPN’s local beat writer, Jake Trotter, if they heard Rudolph say anything or if they had heard anything in their locker room about a racial slur prior to today.

Neither Baker Mayfield nor Sheldon Richardson had heard anything.

I asked Browns DT Sheldon Richardson if Myles Garrett had ever told him what Garrett alleged about Rudolph in the hearing. Richardson said he hadn’t and said my question was the first he’d even heard about it.
