Browns attempting to fast-track DeShone Kizer

Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer is "on the fast-track" to winning the starting job, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

What It Means:

Head coach Hue Jackson said Kizer has been a "quick study." Kizer is being pushed to get up to speed as quickly as possible. Cody Kessler has been getting the majority of first-team reps, but it's starting to look like the Browns have no plans to slow play Kizer.

Among the 39 quarterbacks to pick up at least 100 drop backs in 2016, Kessler was 17th in Passing Net Expected Points per drop back.
