Hue Jackson Cautions That It’s ‘Too Soon’ To Name DeShone Kizer Starter After Strong Debut

While he may not have been afforded the opportunity to start—the Cleveland Browns awarded that to veteran Brock Osweiler—rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer turned in one of the highlight performances so far of the first week of the NFL preseason schedule.

The Notre Dame product completed 11 of his 18 pass attempts on the day, throwing for 184 yards, which obviously works out to better than 10 yards per pass attempt. That included a 45-yard game-winning touchdown at the end of the game, and he also had another long pass completion that was nearly a touchdown earlier in the game.
