Two Ohio State players reportedly confronted Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield this week at the Senior Bowl over his controversial flag plant at Ohio Stadium. The three wound up having a good laugh about it.
SI.com reported that defensive linemen Jalyn Holmes and Tyquan Lewis cornered Mayfield as the North players were riding a bus to practice. The supposed exchange:

Mayfield apologized for the flag plant almost as soon as he did it, although SI.com reported Holmes and Lewis likely would have done the same thing at OU's Owen Field if they'd had the chance.
Mayfield, Holmes and Lewis will be teammates on Saturday in Mobile, Ala. (2:30 p.m. ET, NFL Network). They've already bonded, it appears.
