Cleveland Browns QB DeShone Kizer will start for the rest of the season, according to head coach Hue Jackson.

The Browns want to evaluate Kizer to see if he can develop his game as the season goes on and he gets more experience. With WR Corey Coleman back in action, the Browns passing game has a chance to do more. Kizer threw two interceptions on Sunday, and the rookie has 14 picks on the season. The Browns will likely have the no.1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft and could be targeting a top QB (Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson) with that pick.
