Asked an open-ended question about his quarterbacks, new Browns coach Mike Pettine's first words were "Brian Hoyer," reports the Boston Globe.
“We’re looking forward to getting him back to where at least he’ll do some limited work in the spring," Pettine continued, referring to Hoyer's comeback from ACL surgery. "I’ve always admired Brian from afar. He’s proven he can be successful in the NFL, but at the same time, you’re always looking to make the team better and that’s the most important position.”
The Browns still are expected to draft a quarterback at No. 4 overall.
