DeShone Kizer returns from benching that 'sparked my competitive juices'
DeShone Kizer's benching lasted about as long as a toddler time-out in preschool, but it lit a fire under him just the
same.
"It definitely sparked my competitive juices,'' Kizer said Wednesday after being reinstated as the starter for Sunday's
game against the Titans. "It was definitely important for me throughout the week to make sure that I'm doing extra. In this
league,Authentic Corey Peters Jersey, you gotta talk less and do more. We gotta make sure we're out there grinding the way we should be."
Kizer didn't let the benching shake his confidence.
"I stayed on my same path and I trusted the process and I knew there was going to be another opportunity for me to
potentially play this year. Obviously it came sooner than most expected,womens Corey Peters Jersey,'' he said.

struggling quarterback,Authentic Wes Schweitzer Jersey,interceptions during Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Texans. If Jackson's going to play a young, it
might as well be the leading candidate for longterm starter.
Hogan is also struggling with a rib injury, and will be inactive while Cody Kessler serves as the backup.
"I didn't know how long it was going to take (for Kizer to return). I just know (Kizer) was going to play again. ... He's
playing this week and I'm looking forward to watching him play.''
Jackson will likely try to ride it out with Kizer as long as he can. The Browns need to know if he can be their man before
they head into the QB-rich 2018 draft.
"I'm not going to say the rest of the season, but I know he's the guy right now,'' said Jackson. "I hope he is. I hope
there are no more times we have to take him out and let him reset himself.''
Jackson has no regrets.,Still

Trying to carry the NFL's youngest team is a tall order for a rookie quarterback who started only two seasons at Notre
