Baker Mayfield[1] just gave the play-by-play on his infamous 2017 arrest -- where he was chased down and tackled by police in Arkansas -- and said, "There's so much regret about that."
The #1 pick in the NFL Draft appeared on FS1's 'The Herd' with Colin Cowherd[2] -- who played the arrest video for Baker and asked him straight-up what the hell he was thinking.
As previously reported, Baker was arrested[3] for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after trying to run from cops who wanted to question him about a fighter from earlier that evening.
Baker was adamant to Cowherd that he was not in trouble for anything when cops approached him -- but he freaked out due to his "state of mind."
"For some reason, I thought I was in trouble," Mayfield said ... so he decided to try and run away.
Cops then tackled him down to the ground and the video[4] went viral.
"That was very eye-opening to me," Mayfield said ... explaining that the incident was a "rude awakening to responsibility and accountability."
Baker insists he's learned his lesson and has become better as a player and a person as a result.
