DeShone Kizer Won't Be Rushed into Starting QB Role, Per Sashi Brown

Cleveland Browns general manager Sashi Brown said Tuesday the organization is going to give rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer "some time" before asking him to take over the team's offense.

Brown provided his outlook on the QB competition, which also includes Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Kevin Hogan, during a radio interview on 92.3 The FAN, per ESPN.com.

"Ideally we'd be able to come in and give DeShone some time, and again, Hue [Jackson] talked about this," he said. "Making sure he understands that he doesn't feel like he has to have the pressure on him to be the Week 1 starter or even the 2017 starter at some point.
