Nate Ulrich’s Browns analysis: Coach Hue Jackson faces serious temptation to start rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer right away

No Browns player’s stock had risen as rapidly or dramatically by the time the team broke mandatory minicamp June 15 than rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer’s.

A serious temptation to start Kizer right away is clearly something coach Hue Jackson faces with training camp opening Thursday in Berea.

Cody Kessler entered organized team activities in May as the first-team quarterback. He took the majority of the repetitions with the starters in the three OTA practices open to media (there were nine total). Kizer and Brock Osweiler received some snaps with the No. 1 offense as well, but usually only a series or two per practice.
