DeShone Kizer is officially in the fold. The Browns announced that they have signed the rookie quarterback. 
The Notre Dame product has reportedly impressed in practice, leading some to wonder whether he could see significant time on the field in his rookie season. Brock Osweiler – who has also been looking good in camp – and Cody Kessler are also pushing for the starting job. In a recent poll asking PFR readers which rookie quarterback will make the highest impact, Kizer came in second place with 17.36% of the vote. Texans signal caller Deshaun Watson took first place with 44% of the vote.
Kizer was viewed as one of the better quarterbacks in this year’s class and the Browns were excited to land him at No. 52 overall. However, not everyone is sold on him. The dual-threat QB was excellent in 2015, posting 21 touchdowns and completing nearly 63% of his passes while averaging 8.5 adjusted yards per target. Unfortunately, in 2016, his completion percentage dropped by more than four points. Soon enough, we’ll know whether Kizer has what it takes to succeed at the next level.
With Kizer signed, the Browns now have eight of their ten draft picks officially under contract. First round safety Jabrill Peppers and first round tight end David Njoku are now the only stragglers in the class.
C’mon, Browns, finish up with the signings, already!
What’s wrong with having 13 quarterbacks on the roster?
Huh?
If Kizer turns out to be the real deal and the Browns have 5 picks in the first two rounds next year, they can put themselves in a position to take control of an aging AFC North.
I just snot myself
I’m not sure if he is the real deal, but I can say the same thing about both Trubisky and Watson. To you’re point, it gets a whole lot easier if they can find their guy at the 52nd pick though. I so don’t want to play ’17 for the top pick in ’18.
