The 53-man roster deadline is always full of surprises. Here’s the latest one – the Packers have cut quarterback DeShone Kizer, as Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
Just a couple of months ago, Kizer indicated that he did not see him “as Aaron Rodgers’ backup for the final era of his career.” Instead, he envisioned being a “future Super Bowl MVP.”
“That’s the level I want to play at. Therefore, if I’m competing and focused in on the backup competition, then once again, I’m limiting myself,” he said.
The good news for Kizer – he won’t be Rodgers’ backup for the final era of his career. The bad news – well, you know.
A second-round selection in 2017, Kizer was pegged as a green talent that had high upside. Unfortunately for the Notre Dame product, he was taken by the Browns, who proceeded to lose every game that season. At year’s end, he was shipped to Green Bay. Now, at the age of 23, he’ll look for his third NFL squad.
Yessssssssssssssss
Common sense does exist….Boyle has been the better QB all preseason
Kizer flashed impressively with a hopeless Browns team as a rookie. I thought he might learn something behind Rogers. A bit too much mouth and not enough respect. Now out on the street.
More like…..unfortunately, the Browns wasted a high pick on an overrated, undertalented ND QB.
Brady Quinn was also an Ohio native and QB for the Irish. At least the Browns are staying consistent with these wasted picks.
