Cleveland Browns: Cody Kessler and the debuts of rookie QBs

Since joining the NFL in 1950, the Cleveland Browns have drafted 47 quarterbacks.

Some, like Milt Plum, Brian Sipe and Bernie Kosar, have gone on to success. Many others, like Bob Ptacek, Rick Norton, Paul McDonald and Eric Zeier, have not.

On Sunday against the Miami Dolphins rookie Cody Kessler adds his name to the list as injuries to Robert Griffin III and Josh McCown have put the third-round pick on the field sooner than expected.

This is the 15th consecutive season that the Browns have started multiple quarterbacks and the eighth time they have started at least three quarterbacks in a single season.
