Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson named Kizer the starting quarterback in a conference call on Sunday.
The first-year gunslinger out of Notre Dame established a rapport Saturday night with Cleveland's first-team weapons, namely second-year wideout Corey Coleman. Though Kizer finished 6-of-18 passing for 93 yards with one interception, or what Around the NFL colleague Nick Shook called "one of the more misleading stat lines you'll see this preseason," he impressed the coach who drafted him.
With a potentially stellar crop of QB's available in the 2018 draft, the Browns need to figure out ASAP what they have with KIzer. It will be interesting to see how the young gun handles the intense pressure and expectations. I wish him well!
