Todd Haley believes 2018 is a “make or break year” for Corey Coleman
June 15, 2018Shaq to LeBron: “Your Book is Already Set”
June 17, 2018Did they just become best friends? Yep.
While it may be hard to imagine Baker Mayfield and Josh Gordon starring in Step Brothers, it seems as though the two have become much closer friends both on and off the field due to something that has nothing to do with football or their success on the field.
Thanks to XBox (and most likely Fortnite), the two have become fast friends. Chemistry is important for success and it seems as though Mayfield and Gordon already have that, thanks to (most likely) Fortnite.
“Xbox, to be honest with you,” Mayfield told WKYC’s Matthew Florjancic.
“He plays a little bit of everything. I’m not as much into 2K as he is.”
We already know how big of a Fortnite fan Mayfield is, considering he did some of the dances for the cameras.

In case you don’t follow him or Gordon on Instagram, they have made it known that they both play (and are quite good at) Fornite. It really is crazy that in this day and age, two teammates can develop a good (and quick) friendship off the field due to a video game, but it seems as though that’s exactly the case here.
During OTAs last week, the rookie said that Gordon is “physically talented” and that he’s “never seen anybody like him, bar none.” Whether those positive words are partially due to their quick-growing friendship or Mayfield truly means it, it seems as though Fortnite could be a major reason why the chemistry between the two seems to be very high already.
Although in an ideal situation Mayfield doesn’t see the field in 2018, Browns fans and the team alike can agree that hopefully, this friendship turns into plenty of touchdowns in 2019 and beyond.
Mayfield and Gordon may be teaming up to win games in Fortnite, but hopefully, for the Dawg Pound, they will team up to win plenty of football games for Cleveland as well. The two still need to gain some chemistry on the field, but it truly is amazing that this friendship has grown so much already all thanks to a video game.
