The Cleveland Browns put backup quarterback Jameis Winston on the field twice in their win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, and running back Jerome Ford gave a perfect analogy for what it is like to share the huddle with his first-year teammate.
Describing what it is like to hear Winston call a play, Ford stated that it is like the backup quarterback has a surprise to tell. This is incredibly easy to visualize given the inflection and enthusiasm that Winston speaks with on a regular basis.
Winston, of course, came on the field in three different short-yardage conversions. First, he executed a quarterback sneak with perfection. Then, the Browns hit the Jaguars with a tendency-breaker, bringing Winston back on the field to sell the sneak before handing the football to Ford around the edge for a huge gain. Winston then executed another quarterback sneak later in the game.
What a perfect analogy given by the Browns’ starting running back.
