Browns Add QB Taylen Green as Four-Way Competition Persists

Team leaders signal a deliberate look at all four passers before setting the depth chart.

Overview

  • Cleveland selected Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green with pick No. 182 in the sixth round on Saturday, adding a fourth passer to the roster.
  • General manager Andrew Berry said Green will play quarterback and dismissed any position change talk.
  • Berry also said the Browns plan to roll with Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel and Green for now rather than add a veteran.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the team has no plans to trade Gabriel at this time.
  • Green set quarterback records at the combine with a 43.5-inch vertical and 11-foot-2 broad jump and ran a 4.36 40, yet scouts say he needs work on accuracy and consistency and is likely a developmental or situational option early while the starting job remains open.
