Kareem Hunt's dad goes after Baker Mayfield

By Chelena Goldman | Last updated 11/29/21

We aren't sure how it started, but there is a serious trend that has developed in which Baker Mayfield draws the ire of his teammates' dads.

Less than a month after Odell Beckham Jr.'s father posted a lengthy tirade to social media attacking the Browns QB, running back Kareem Hunt's old man went after Mayfield in a similar fashion.

Kareem Hunt Sr. created a punctuation-deficient Facebook post after the Browns' Sunday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens, citing that Mayfield was "limping" around the field and "scared" to throw the ball.

Hunt Sr. also claimed his post was nothing like the one Beckham Sr. posted in early November.

It's well known that Mayfield has been playing through injuries all season. But calling him scared and adding that "go Browns hopefully" at the end is a pretty decent dig.

Injuries or not, Sunday's game was not Mayfield's best showing. The 26-year-old gun-slinger completed just 18-of-37 pass attempts against Baltimore and was held without a touchdown.

The Browns get a much-needed bye in Week 13 and the opportunity to recharge their batteries before a rematch with the Ravens on December 12. If Cleveland can't right the ship at that point, it's anyone's guess which players' dad will go after Mayfield next.
