It has been said several times throughout the course of the year how infectious his energy and enthusiasm have been to the whole team.
Coming a disappointing season last year in Norman, Baker Mayfield won the starting job in Spring ball in a "close" competition.
Although you would have to do some hard debating to convince me that the competition was even remotely close.
The first evidence that Mayfield was going to be special was the Tennessee game in Knoxville. The 4th quarter performance he put on to will them back to victory really set the tone for the rest of the season.
The loss to Texas in the Cotton bowl was a setback but from that point on Baker has looked like the best QB in the country. He is the most energetic player on the field and everyone feeds off of it. Even the defense has given Baker credit for lifting their spirits as well.
I understand that Derrick Henry has been fantastic all year long. But to be honest if the award is based on who has had the most impact on their team? The the award is not even close and Baker Mayfield will be coming home with the Heisman trophy.
