Baker Mayfield's Wife Emily Gets Emotional Over Husband Winning Panthers Job, Escaping Cleveland

The emotions poured out of Baker Mayfield's wife Emily on Monday after it was announced her husband would start the season as the starting quarterback in Carolina after a tumultuous end to his career in Cleveland.
