Jacoby Brissett had other options, better choices. There were definitely more stable ones for a well-respected veteran quarterback.
But Cleveland, with its penchant for chaos and controversy, didn't scare Brissett. Just the opposite.
“I wanted this. I know what type of man I am. I know what type of player I am. I know what type of teammate I am.”The 29-year-old, who made unexpected leaps up the depth chart and started at previous stops in New England, Indianapolis and Miami while battling self-doubt and depression, begins the 2022 season as Cleveland's No. 1 quarterback — No. 1 with an asterisk.
Since arriving, Brissett has been a steadying presence for a team that spent the summer enveloped by the Watson saga. Imparting wisdom from past experiences, he's become a leader, which was one of the qualities that attracted the Browns to him. Brissett's younger teammates view him as something of a quirky older brother who makes them laugh. He doesn't know why.
"I got that now. But I had a lot of days where I just kept stuff to myself and I now know just how bad that was for me and the person that it turned me into.”
