The Facts: With a potential suspension looming for new quarterback Deshaun Watson -- who faces 22 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct -- and the anticipated departure of Baker Mayfield, the Cleveland Browns have brought in Brissett as a backup quarterback who could fill in as the starter. Brissett's career has been defined by being the backstop QB thrust into the starting role. "I wouldn't be in the position that I am in today if I worried about (knowing if I was going to start or not)," Brissett said Wednesday. "I've always prepared myself like a starter. I carry myself like a starter because when those opportunities present themselves, I want to show that I am that."

Diehards Line: Since being drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, Brissett has majored in bailing out teams in need of filling the starting hole. As a rookie, he made two starts when Tom Brady was suspended and Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt. The following season, he was traded to Indianapolis at the onset of the campaign after Andrew Luck suffered a season-ending injury. Two seasons later, when Luck abruptly retired during the preseason, Brissett was again thrust into the starting role. Then, last year in Miami, he made five starts in place of an injured Tua Tagovailoa. With Watson's civil cases hanging overhead, it's possible the NFL could suspend the quarterback at some point this year. If that happens, Brissett will step in and handle the starting role.
