Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield won't be there to shake Commissioner Roger Goodell's hand when his name is called at the NFL draft. 

The Oklahoma quarterback told Dallas sportscaster Newy Scruggs on Monday that he won't be attending the draft when it gets underway April 26 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Mayfield picked up the Davey O'Brien Award for the nation's top quarterback Monday night in Fort Worth.

Mayfield is one of the top quarterbacks available and is projected to be taken fifth overall in Paste BN Sports' latest mock draft.

Three years ago, the top two quarterbacks in the draft -- Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota -- did not attend, even though they were selected with the first and second overall picks.
