Pettine clarifies 'second tier' comments on Wilson

BEREA, Ohio -- Mike Pettine clarified his comments about Russell Wilson on Thursday, with the Browns coach bringing some levity to his comments that the Seahawks quarterback is in the second tier of players at the position.

"Every quarterback that's ever played is tied for one," the Browns head coach said Thursday. "The best ever."

Pettine's lighthearted remarks opened his daily meeting with the media, and came in light of the attention his comments about Wilson received on Wednesday. Pettine said Wilson was in the second tier of NFL quarterbacks, behind Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers.
