Robert Griffin III expected to be the Browns' starter
Cleveland Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III has a good chance to win the starting gig, with the Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot believing the "odds are very, very high" Griffin opens the season as the starter.
Cabot said Cleveland skipper Hue Jackson is "all in" on Griffin and has been "riding him hard" at summer practices. His top competition for the job is journeyman Josh McCown.
Griffin didn't take a snap in 2015 and was abysmal in 2014. Among passers with at least 200 dropbacks that season, he finished next to last with -0.15 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back. The Browns' offense ranked 21st in Passing NEP per play last season. Still just 26, Griffin makes for an intriguing late-round flier as a No. 3 quarterback in two-quarterback leagues.
