The Facts: The Browns will eventually turn to rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. For now, however, Taylor has the keys to the offense and his share of fans within the locker room. Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey complimented Taylor's leadership during a Tuesday guest appearance on NFL Network. Wide receiver Jarvis Landry took his turn Thursday on The Rich Eisen Show when asked how Taylor looked during the offseason. "Amazing," Landry told Eisen.
Diehards Line:
Landry continued: "Amazing, man. His leadership, his arm, his accuracy and he's ready, man. He's the starting quarterback, and I'm sure that, obviously, the decision is up to [head coach] Hue [Jackson] and the offensive staff, and stuff like that. But I'm sure they've been highly impressed with [what] he's done through OTAs and minicamp." Taylor, whom the Browns acquired via trade with the Buffalo Bills during the offseason, projects as the starter ahead of training camp. While there could be some competition between Taylor and Mayfield, Landry didn't see any issues with the current pecking order. And it sounds like something we all need to get used to.
