  "account": "Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has clarified a viral video that appeared to suggest he favored Deshaun Watson for the starting quarterback position. The video was actually edited to misrepresent Jeudy's reaction during an interview. Jeudy clarified that the clip, which showed him throwing up four fingers, was actually done after he spoke about his daughter's age, not in response to a question about the quarterback competition. In response to the fabricated clip, Jeudy reached out to both Watson and rookie Shedeur Sanders to assure them that the video was doctored. With the Browns' quarterback battle between Watson and Sanders drawing significant attention, Jeudy emphasized his maturity and wisdom in not commenting on such matters publicly, given his seven-year career marked by several quarterback competition scenarios. The outcome of this competition could significantly impact the Browns' offensive capabilities, given the array of talented wideouts the team has added in recent drafts.",
