Which Cleveland Browns quarterbacks have recorded 3000+ passing yards in a season? NFL Immaculate Grid answers for July 26

Let's take a look at a few players for the Cleveland Browns who have just achieved the 3,000 passing yard threshold as the NFL Immaculate Gridiron airs its next episode.

Baker Mayfield was the last quarterback for the Browns to reach this milestone, so it is only fitting that we start by talking about him.

When selecting quarterback Baker Mayfield with the first overall choice in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns had high expectations for him. The Browns saw Mayfield's potential right away and believed he had what it takes to take over as their starting quarterback in the long run.

In his first year, Mayfield broke the rookie quarterback record for throwing touchdowns while also helping the Browns snap a 19-game losing run. His best campaign came in 2020, the year the Browns won their first postseason game since 1994 under his leadership.

It was a difficult season for Mayfield and those around him in 2021. Nevertheless, despite battling with several ailments, Mayfield started 14 games and threw for more than 3,000 yards and 17 touchdowns.

The franchise realized after that injury-plagued season that Mayfield was not the man who could take them to a title, so they traded for new star passer Deshaun Watson and sent Baker to the Carolina Panthers.

In four straight seasons (2018–2021), Mayfield passed for 3,000+ yards. The only player in team history to achieve this mark.
