Early indications give one Browns quarterback a leg up for starting job
NY Post
The quarterback question will be a big one for the Browns as they enter the 2025 season with a plethora of options at the position.
But one Browns insider believes that one quarterback in Cleveland already has the upper hand in the battle for the starter role.
Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot views Kenny Pickett as the favorite to win the job among a group of candidates that includes, Joe Flacco, Deshaun Watson and rookies Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.
“It’s a tough call before we’ve even seen the first practice of organized team activities, but I know Kenny Pickett heads in as the frontrunner to win the starting job at the outset. He’ll take the initial first-team reps in OTAs and probably the mandatory minicamp, and it seems like it’s his job to try to keep for now,” Cabot reported.
Pickett saw limited playing time with the Eagles last season, appearing in five games while completing 59.5 percent of his passes and throwing for 291 yards.
Prior to that, he played two seasons in Pittsburgh, during which he threw for over 2,000 yards in 2022 and 2023.
