DeShone Kizer to start Browns third preseason game

On Tuesday, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson named QB DeShone Kizer the starting quarterback for the Browns third preseason game at Tampa Bay. Kizer was a second-round pick of the Browns in this year’s draft and is competing with Brock Osweiler for the starting job.
Kizer started his career with a bang in the Browns first preseason game against the Saints, earning the third-highest quarterback grade of the week at 83.0 overall while Osweiler struggled in that game earning a grade of just 49.8.
Both quarterbacks struggled in the Browns most recent game against the Giants with Kizer ranking just 73rd out of 76 qualifiers for the week with a grade of 41.0. Osweiler earned a grade of 53.4 and ranked 51st.
While under pressure, Kizer has cleary been the better quarterback through two preseason games. His 109.5 passer rating under pressure ranks 12th among qualifiers while Osweiler’s 39.6 passer rating ranks 60th.
