The final installment of a three-part series chronicling the journey of Browns quarterback Cody Kessler to Cleveland.
BEREA, OHIO— Sitting at the far end of the dais, Cody Kessler told the room full of reporters at the Browns facility that his hometown of Bakersfield, California wasn’t known for much.
Soon, however, Bakersfield could have a claim to fame.
“Our whole town has followed Cody and Derek Carr,” Christie said. “Cody has trained with David (Carr) since he’s been little.”
Derek Carr was born in Fresno, California— nearly two hours north of Bakersfield— and moved to Sugar Land, Texas when David was drafted by the Houston Texans with the first overall selection in the 2002 NFL Draft.
