Browns rookie QB DeShone Kizer says Hue Jackson has taken hard coaching to another level: ‘He expects greatness’

BEREA: DeShone Kizer thought his dad and Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly coached him as hard as anyone could.

Then the rookie quarterback began practicing under the guidance of Browns coach Hue Jackson.

“I thought my standards were high with the way that my dad coached me when I was younger and high with Coach Kelly. Coach Jackson just took it to a whole other level,” Kizer said Saturday before the second practice of the team’s three-day rookie minicamp. “He expects greatness out of all of his players.

“There’s a reason him and [head of football operations] Sashi [Brown] select the guys to come to the Browns, and that’s to hold us to the highest standards and get back to winning.
