Hue Jackson Says Brock Osweiler Has Been 'A Pleasant Surprise' in Browns OTAs

As Brock Osweiler begins a new chapter in his career, Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson likes what he's seen from the quarterback so far in organized team activities. 

Per Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Jackson called Osweiler "a pleasant surprise" for the Browns.  

The Browns acquired Osweiler, a 2017 sixth-round draft pick and 2018 second-round draft pick from the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2017 fourth-round pick, relief from Osweiler's $16 million salary and $10 million in cap space. 

After spending the first four years of his career with the Denver Broncos, Osweiler signed a four-year deal with the Texans during the 2016 offseason to be their starting quarterback. He struggled in 14 starts with Houston last season, throwing for 2,957 yards, 15 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. 

Osweiler is competing with Cody Kessler, Kevin Hogan and rookie DeShone Kizer to be Cleveland's starting quarterback in 2017.
