DeShone Kizer: Early reviews are mixed as he gears up for 0-3 Bengals

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- DeShone Kizer has tumbled to the bottom of the NFL in several key categories including rating and completion percentage, and the early reviews by experts are mixed.

Matt Miller, NFL draft lead writer for Bleacher Report, is seeing some of the same things that had him rank Kizer below Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes in the draft. But CBS Sports' Steve Beuerlein likes him better than Watson, whom the Browns traded away from at No. 12, and is now starting for the Texans.

"I think both of these guys (Watson and Kizer) are going to be great quarterbacks long term,'' said Beuerlein, the former Pro Bowl QB, said this week on 'NFL Monday QB' on CBS Sports Network.
