Cleveland Browns har draftet quarterback Taylen Green i sjette runde af årets NFL-draft. Green, der tidligere spillede college football for Idaho, blev valgt med håbet om at styrke holdets quarterback-rotation. General Manager Andrew Berry afviste imidlertid spekulationer om, at Green ville blive omskollet til wide receiver eller tight end, da han udelukkende skal spille quarterback i NFL.
Berry blev spurgt om Greens fremtidige rolle under en pressekonference lørdag. Hans svar var kort og præcist: "Han spiller quarterback."
Valget af Green kommer blot et år efter, at Browns draftede Shedeur Sanders og Dillon Gabriel, som begge stadig er en del af holdets trup sammen med Deshaun Watson. Berry understregede, at Greens udvælgelse ikke påvirker de eksisterende quarterbacks, og at Browns planlægger at beholde alle fire spillere i truppen i den kommende offseason.
Ifølge Berry foretrækker holdet at have tre quarterbacks på den aktive trup og én på practice squad. Dette giver mulighed for at beholde alle fire spillere ind i den ordinære sæson. Berry pointerede dog, at intet er givet, da ingen af Sanders, Gabriel eller Green er garanteret at passere waivers, hvis de ikke formår at sikre sig en plads på den aktive trup. Derudover kan andre begivenheder i ligaen føre til ændringer i quarterback-billedet.
