Browns Initiate Four-QB Competition Featuring Kenny Pickett

Kenny Pickett, now with the Cleveland Browns after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles, values the learning experience he gained backing up Jalen Hurts to a Super Bowl win. Despite a rocky start with the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he struggled due to poor team support and was eventually replaced after an injury, Pickett remains optimistic about his future in Cleveland, appreciating the team culture and competition. The Browns have a four-way quarterback competition involving Pickett, Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders, which teammates like Jerry Jeudy believe will push the quarterbacks to improve. Pickett emphasizes camaraderie within the QB room despite external media hype about competition intensity. Steelers Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw has defended Pickett, arguing the Steelers failed him by not providing adequate protection and support, suggesting Pickett was not the failure but the team was. Cleveland's offensive environment under coach Kevin Stefanski is seen as a more stable setting that could help Pickett realize his potential.
