Browns
Browns’ recently acquired QB Kenny Pickett views himself as an NFL starter and feels he has a “great opportunity” to compete for a role in Cleveland.
“I just think it’s a great opportunity to go compete again,” Pickett said, via NFL.com. “That’s really all you can ask for. That’s what I was told here, coming in here, having an opportunity to compete again. So I’m very excited for that.”
As for the Browns hosting veteran QB Russell Wilson for a visit, Pickett said he has no issues with Cleveland potentially bringing in Wilson and is grateful for a chance to compete for the starting job.
“Yeah, that’s fine with me,” Pickett said. “As long as I have a chance to compete, that’s all you can ask for. So having that opportunity is awesome as a player, so I’m looking forward to working with whoever comes in the building.”
