QB. Nortre Dame. Deshone Kizer. 1. player. 53. When quarterback Robert Griffin III signed with the Cleveland Browns, I thought it woud work out for him. I saw what head coach Hue Jackson did with Jason Campbell in Oakland in 2010-2011. And Griffin has a much more talented quarterback then Campbell. <p>I expected to see some growth this year and for him to be all he can be the following year. But for that, he would have to take to Jackson’s coaching and apparently he forgot about one part. He forgot about the part where you protect yourself to live for another play.</p> <p>So in 2017, the Browns are left to start over at quarterback and the best prospect there is DeShone Kizer. Kizer comes complete with size, a rocket launcher arm and athleticism. And they run the Spread Offense and a pro style offense at Notre Dame.</p> <p>So he’ll be prepared for the mental aspect of playing quarterback in the NFL as well. He’ll also have receivers Josh Gordon, Terrelle Pryor and Corey Coleman and tight end Gary Barnidge to throw to. If he gets protection Kizer will play well right away.</p>
