Browns reveal feelings on Taylen Green position change

Taylen Green is a quarterback.

But he just got drafted into the NFL by the Cleveland Browns, who already have three: Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel.

Could a position change be in the cards?

After all, Green ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He had an absurd 43.5-inch vertical leap. And on top of all that, he's 6-foot-6.

He certainly sounds like he could be a wide receiver, doesn't he?

Browns front office leader Andrew Berry was asked just that question moments after the pick.

"He's playing quarterback," Berry said, then repeated, "He's playing quarterback."

Maybe the most famous QB ever suggested that he should play WR was Lamar Jackson. Sticking at quarterback worked out well for him.

Green isn't as consistent a passer as Jackson was coming out of college, but he can take inspiration from Lamar.

And at least for now, the Browns have no plans to change his position.
