Brett Favre likes what he sees from a couple of the - liny195 - 01-20-2020
NFL’s bright young quarterback stars.Favre says Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes are the two quarterbacks in the NFL today whose playing styles most remind him of himself.“There’s no question that the sky is the limit for Baker https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Seth-Devalve-Jersey ,” Favre told Nate Ulrich of the . “And, yeah, I think his style of play, and I’ve heard the same thing about Mahomes, and I agree with both, that their styles of play — if you had to pick a former player — would certainly match up to my style.”Favre says he sees Mayfield and Mahomes going beyond how the play was drawn up when the circumstances call for it, and he likes to see that.“It’s a play-action fake that you’ve never seen before or a flip, underhand pass or diving over three defenders or ducking your head and getting the extra yard Kevin Zeitler Jersey ,” Favre said. “Those are the type of things that are the unexpected that will become, at some point, maybe expected with a guy like Baker or Mahomes. Playing [quarterback] the way I played and the way Baker and Mahomes play is they just kind of have that added little sixth sense.”That is high praise from a Hall of Famer, but based on the early returns from Mahomes and Mayfield, that praise is justified. Running back Duke Johnson joined defensive lineman Emmanuel Ogbah in skipping the start of the Browns’ voluntary offseason program, coach Freddie Kitchens said.“It’s what he chose to do,” Kitchens said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the . “It’s all voluntary.”Kitchens said he did not know if Johnson’s absence was in response to the Browns’ signing of Kareem Hunt Joel Bitonio Color Rush Jersey , who is expected to backup Nick Chubb when he returns from an eight-game suspension.Three teams reportedly showed interest in trading for Johnson, including the Cowboys and Eagles. Philadelphia, though, filled its need with a trade with Chicago for Jordan Howard.Kitchens addressed the trade rumors at the NFL owners meetings last week.“I don’t know why it’s assumed that we’re going to trade Duke Johnson,” Kitchens said. “I don’t know why we would ever want to, like, just voluntarily give up a good football player. Duke Johnson is a good football player.“Duke Johnson will have a role on our football team. All these guys that are here will have a role. I don’t when it just became a necessity to trade Duke Johnson because we signed Kareem Hunt. And I know I’ve heard that a lot. I just don’t respond to it until somebody asks me. I don’t know why we would voluntarily do that.”Kitchens said he would play all three backs when Hunt returns.
