Hue Jackson: Browns can't flip Kizer for Watson

It's as if the Cleveland Browns didn't have their choice at the 2017 NFL Draft, when they passed on Deshaun in favor of DeShone.

"DeShone Kizer's on our team, Deshaun Watson's on their team," Browns coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday ahead of Cleveland's visit to the Houston Texans on Sunday. "We can't all of a sudden flip 'em."

It's too late now, but back in April the Browns had plenty of opportunities to take Watson. They chose to pass on him and two other quarterbacks before selecting Kizer in the second round.

Watson has gone on to thrive with the Texans, while Kizer - who earned the Browns' starting job out of training camp - has struggled. He was benched last week and will remain on the pine Sunday, as Kevin Hogan gets the starting nod.

The Browns are 0-5 this season and are 1-20 under Jackson.
