When could the Browns start Taylen Green in 2026?
Could rookie quarterback Taylen Green start at some point in 2026?
The Cleveland Browns find themselves with one of the three worst quarterback rooms in the NFL. Initially, Shedeur Sanders was expected to become the starter in 2026, but unexpectedly, Deshaun Watson was named the starter. As the team's options for the quarterback position remain uncertain, ESPN's Matt Bowen, Mike Clay, Dan Graziano, Pamela Maldonado, and Jordan Reid explored the possibility of rookie Taylen Green taking a few snaps under center during the season.
At present, Green is ranked third behind Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, both of whom are generating little enthusiasm among Cleveland fans. Despite being considered secondary to the other two quarterbacks, the Browns could experiment with various packages for Green, who possesses considerable potential as a runner and possesses a strong arm capable of executing all required throws.
Although Green's accuracy may require some development during his rookie season, it's not unreasonable to consider him starting late in the campaign if the situation at quarterback becomes dire. This report originally surfaced on Browns Wire.
