Baker Mayfield is happy to have a fresh start with the Carolina Panthers, but he will be leaving at least one big piece of his life behind in Cleveland — his popular Progressive insurance commercials.
At his first press conference as a Panther on Tuesday, Mayfield was asked if we have seen the last of his “At Home With Baker Mayfield” advertisements now that no longer plays for the Browns. Sadly, we have. Mayfield says he pitched Progressive on a moving away commercial but it did not work out.
The Progressive commercials were always entertaining. They showed Mayfield treating FirstEnergy Stadium like it was his actual home and doing household tasks around the venue, like mowing the lawn. One opposing coach even took a shot at the quarterback over the ads a couple of years ago.
If Mayfield succeeds in Carolina, there will be plenty of other opportunities for him to star in commercials. His focus a the moment is on trying to win a starting job.
