Kenny Pickett

Browns QB Kenny Pickett said “I do view myself as a starter,” when asked about the upcoming season.

With All-Pro confidence, Pickett, who was recently acquired from the Eagles, said he’ll be ready to “compete with whoever” the Browns bring in at quarterback this offseason. The former first-rounder threw for 291-2-1 in limited action with the Eagles last season, with his most notable game coming in a Week 17 outing against the Cowboys. Pickett got the start against a woeful defense and threw for 143-1-0 on 15 pass attempts while also rushing for a score. There’s probably a little too much offseason left for us to say Pickett is definitely going to compete for the starting job. Even if he does, if the Browns take a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick next month, Pickett won’t be long for said starting job.
