AFC Notes: Browns, Steelers, Titans

Browns

According to Todd Haley, the Browns quarterbacks room is “probably one of the best – if not the best – quarterbacks rooms.”

“This is probably one of the best – if not the best – quarterbacks rooms, in general, that I’ve had,” Haley said, via Brown.com. “The group, in general, is what I’m excited about. I think that it’s an intelligent, intelligent group, with ability to throw the football and make plays with their legs, some of them. When you have that, I think that good things happen. Competition is created in the room, even though they’re working hard together to help each other and get better as a group.”

Haley also spoke highly of Tyrod Taylor and the job he’s done up to this point.

“I thought that Tyrod has done a tremendous, tremendous job of establishing himself as the leader of this offense. His car is there every morning in his spot when I get here in the morning, and it’s there when I’m leaving,” Haley said. “That’s what you’re looking for in the leader of your offense. I think that he’s done a great job with understanding the terminology, concepts and all of the different things. Like I said, we threw a lot at him. He’s more of a show what to do, more than by talking. I’ve really been impressed and encouraged by him.”

Steelers

• Joe Rutter of the Tribune-Review takes a look at five players who made the most of minicamp this past week including QB Mason Rudolph, WR James Washington, RB James Conner, S Jordan Dangerfield and LB Tyler Matakevich.

Titans

• Jim Wyatt of the Titans’ official site mentions that second-round OLB Harold Landry will have a hard time earning a starting role this season while playing behind Brian Orakpo and Derrick Morgan. Even so, Wyatt still expects Landry to be an “impact player” in 2018.
• Regarding what position looked the best during minicamp, Wyatt says starting CBs Malcolm Butler, Logan Ryan and Adoree’ Jackson have “all been solid“, while backups LeShaun Sims and Tye Smith have also played well.
• Titans GM Jon Robinson indicated that he has had some “productive conversations” with LT Taylor Lewan‘s agent regarding a contract extension.
