Jacoby Brissett knows who he is and it’s not Deshaun Watson.

It’s hard to imagine Brissett going out there and trying to mimic what the Browns would hope to be getting from Deshaun Watson.
Despite his activities off the field, Watson is a 3-time Pro Bowler and one of the best QBs in the league. Brissett, meanwhile, is excited about the opportunity to lead a very talented roster in Cleveland.
“Just go out there and continue to be the man that I am, the player that I am, the teammate that I am,” Brissett said last week, via ESPN.
Last year, he completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,283 yards with five TDs and four picks.
