BALTIMORE (AP) — Gregg Williams has no idea whether he’s going shed the interim label and return as coach of the Cleveland Browns.It sure seems as if he wants to http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-justice-hill-jersey , though, so he can finish what he started.After replacing Hue Jackson in late October and rallying the Browns (7-8-1) to within a victory of a winning record, Williams is confident that no matter who’s in charge next year, the woebegone franchise is headed in the right direction with Baker Mayfield at quarterback.“He’s just scratched the surface,” Williams said. “If you think he’s satisfied with that, there’s no way, no how.”Mayfield nearly rallied the Browns from a 13-point halftime deficit Sunday in a 26-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Down by nine points with seven minutes left, Cleveland got within a few yards of moving in position for a game-winning field goal in the final minute.“I’m proud of how they responded Ben Powers Jersey ,” Williams said.Despite the loss, the Browns won seven more games than last year and finished with their best record since 2007, their most recent winning season.“Coach Williams did a great job keeping us motivated and getting us to play hard,” running back Nick Chubb said. “He always got the best out of us.”Pushing a playoff-bound Ravens team to the brink of elimination was merely a moral victory for Williams and the Browns. Williams was non-committal about his future, declining to reveal whether he’d be interviewed for the permanent coaching role now that the regular season is finished.But he sounds a lot like a coach who would like the chance to lead this team to the playoffs.“I really like this young team, and I’ve said this before: I turned down multiple jobs to come to Cleveland,” he said. “I really wanted the opportunity to come here.”It helps that Williams has a rising star in Mayfield, who threw three touchdowns Sunday to eclipse Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson for TD passes by a rookie. Mayfield finished with 27 http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-iman-marshall-jersey , but couldn’t pull off a comeback to knock the AFC North champion Ravens out of the playoffs.Williams could have trotted kicker Greg Joseph out to try a long game-winning field goal, but opted to ride as far as Mayfield could take him.“We put it in Baker’s hands,” Williams said. “That’s my choice, OK? That’s who I wanted to see with the last opportunity was him.”Mayfield, who finished 23 of 42 for 376 yards, was pleased with his rookie campaign . He set the rookie TD record in just 13 games after replacing veteran Tyrod Taylor and threw for touchdowns in 13 consecutive starts.But his success — and the Browns’ best record in more than a decade — has only made him hungrier to take another positive step in the turnaround.“I think going forward, for me, there’s a lot of room for improvement Trace McSorley Jersey ,” Mayfield said. “That’s promising for our team going forward. If we were satisfied, if we felt we had it figured it, we’d be sadly mistaken.”Asked if he wanted to see changes in the coaching staff, Mayfield didn’t speak directly about Williams, but said: “The changes we made speak for themselves. All I want is for someone to put us in a position to win.” Growing up and seeing a family member experience so much success can have a tough effect on an athlete. When one member of the family goes into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame, any offspring who shows up later has a lot to live up to. Some NFL players even see one of their brothers have success in the league and when it's their turn to shine, they simply can't live up to the foundation their family laid before them. Sometimes it's a question of talent not quite running throughout the family, while other times Ed Oliver Jersey , a player does indeed have a lot of success, but it just doesn't measure up to what their family members did.Today, we're going to be looking at some football players who couldn't quite live up to what their father did in the pros, as well as some players who fell short of the lofty expectations their siblings set.From Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers' younger brother, Jordan, to the late Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton (1954-1999) and his son, Jarrett, we're pretty sure you'll recognize at least a few of the times that I'll mention in my list. Let's take a look at 10 NFL players who lived in their father's shadow and 10 who lived in their brother's. Don't forget folks http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-ford-jersey , there are many football families, but that doesn't mean that every male in the household will be able to make a name for himself as an NFL player.
