Baker Mayfield is leading innovative offseason workouts for the Cleveland Browns in Austin, Texas, bringing together key offensive players for unofficial training sessions dubbed "Camp Baker." This player-led initiative demonstrates strong team leadership and chemistry building outside of traditional OTAs (Organized Team Activities).

Key participants at Camp Baker include:

• Odell Beckham Jr.
• Jarvis Landry
• Rashard Higgins
• Donovan Peoples-Jones
• David Njoku
• Harrison Bryant

Meanwhile in Berea, defensive stars including Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward are participating in official OTAs. Previously injured players Greedy Williams and Grant Delpit have also returned to practice with helmets on.

This dual-location approach appears to be working well for the Browns:

• First time Mayfield and Beckham are working out together as teammates
• Players are bonding both on and off the field (Lake Travis activities)
• Team maintaining competitive preparation while accommodating veteran preferences
• Defense getting formal instruction at team facility
• Offense building chemistry through player-led sessions

The success of the 2020 season, achieved without traditional OTAs due to COVID-19, showed that rigid offseason programs may not be essential. This flexible approach allows the Browns to keep pace with AFC rivals like the Chiefs, Ravens, and Steelers while fostering team unity in creative ways.

The offensive unit is expected to reunite in Eastlake, Ohio for Jarvis Landry's upcoming celebrity softball game, further strengthening team bonds heading into the season.
