Cleveland Browns QB Robert Griffin III will have to compete for the starting quarterback job during training camp even though the team traded down in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, according to vice president of football operations Sashi Brown. Head coach Hue Jackson said Griffin’s presence on the team did not affect the trade.
Footballguys View: Jackson knows he has to push Griffin, so this is no shock. If Griffin cannot beat out Josh McCown, Austin Davis, Connor Shaw, Pat Devlin and whatever rookie shows up, he doesn’t deserve the job. We think he has the upside but have no real idea how he will perform and whether he can physically hold up.
