Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has had a NFL career full of ups and downs. He was traded to the Carolina Panthers after an unimpressive four year stint with the Browns. The Heisman Trophy winner was drafted by the Browns in the 2018 NFL Draft as overall pick number 1 and he ended their 19 game winless streak on his debut. He went on to have an underwhelming second season but led the Browns to their first playoff appearance since 2002. Mayfield struggled with injuries in 2021 and in 2022 he formally requested a trade from the Browns.
Baker Mayfield might be yet to achieve great heights in the field but he has found great success in the field of commercials. Mayfield is one of the most prominent faces in a number of commercials. He is the star of commercials for the insurance company Progressive, along with appearing in commercials for HULU and NFL.
Baker Mayfield’s Progressive Commercials - ‘At Home with Baker Mayfield’
Baker Mayfield has the most number of commercials with the insurance company Progressive. After an impressive rookie season with the Cleveland Browns in 2018, Baker Mayfield was offered a marketing gig with Progressive. The rest is history as Progressive went on to create a whole advertisement campaign centered around him, known as ‘At Home with Baker Mayfield’.
His success in the NFL rookie season and setting the record for most touchdown passes by a rookie quarterback had earned him high ratings across NFL fans. He also had a natural charisma which attracted the ad executives at Progressive.
‘At Home with Baker Mayfield’ series of commercials feature Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily Wilkinson as homeowners dealing with sub-urban life. The commercials are funny and quirky and catch the attention of the viewers. Also, was it mentioned that their home in the commercials is actually the EnergyFirst Stadium (home stadium of the Cleveland Browns)! Commercials may get boring over time but Mayfield surely has some charm as seven Progressive commercials featuring him, aired in 2021 alone.
