Former Oklahoma football stars Baker Mayfield and Jalen Hurts will be rivals Monday when Tampa Bay visits Philadelphia in the NFC wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

The two did not play at Oklahoma at the same time, but both were part of the Sooners’ three-year run of Heisman Trophy finalists: Mayfield won in 2017; Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray won in 2018; and Hurts finished runner-up in 2019.

Mayfield, who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2018, spent four seasons there. This is his first season with Tampa Bay (9-8), passing for a career-high 4,044 yards, with 28 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He had a disappointing 2022, when he went 1-5 for the Carolina Panthers, was waived, then claimed by the Los Angeles Rams, where he went 1-3.

Hurts, who played one season at Oklahoma after transferring from Alabama, was drafted by the Eagles in 2020. He was the NFL MVP last season and led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. This season, he has thrown for 3,853 yards with 23 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, and rushing for 605 yards and 15 TDs.

This will be the third time Mayfield and Hurts have encountered each other in the NFL, with Hurts beating Mayfield 25-11 in Week 3 this season. Mayfield was with the Browns in 2020 when they defeated the Eagles 22-17, but Hurts was not the quarterback in that game, and in fact had just one rush for 6 yards.

Here’s a look at Oklahoma’s Heisman stretch from 2017 to 2019 that featured Mayfield and Hurts:

Oklahoma success with Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts

With former coach Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma had a three-year stretch with some of the best offenses in the history of college football.

Mayfield won the Heisman over Stanford’s Bryce Love and Louisville’s Lamar Jackson, with 732 first-place votes, sixth most all-time. 

Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for the 2019 season after Tua Tagovailoa asserted himself as the Crimson Tide starter. Under Riley, Hurts was second in Heisman voting to LSU’s Joe Burrow, who had the second-most first-place votes all-time (841). Hurts received 12 first-place votes and finished with 762 points, ahead of Ohio State’s Justin Fields (747).
