The Cleveland Browns picked up Arkansas Razorbacks quarterback Taylen Green in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL draft despite having the likes of Shedeur Sanders, Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel in the room.
Green is an impressive athlete who has the potential to become a dual-threat quarterback in the NFL. He passed for 2,714 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this past season. On 139 carries, he rushed 777 yards and eight touchdowns. Moreover, at the NFL Combine, he recorded an impressive 4.36 40-yard dash with a 43.5'' vertical jump and an 11'2'' broad jump.

However, according to NFL analyst Skip Bayless, this was still not a good enough reason for the Browns to turn a blind eye to what they already have.
