Browns Host QBs Jimmy Garoppolo & Connor Shaw On Friday

 

Mary Kay Cabotย reports that the Browns met withย Eastern Illinois QBย Jimmy Garoppoloย and South Carolinaย QBย Connor Shawย on Friday.

  • Cabot adds that Shaw will workout for the Browns on Saturday.

The Browns are obviously casting a wide net when it comes to quarterback prospects. As of now, they have already met with:

  • Blake Bortlesย (UCF)
  • Teddy Bridgewaterย (Louisville)
  • Derek Carrย (Fresno State)
  • Jimmy Garoppoloย (Eastern Illinois)
  • Johnny Manzielย (Texas A&M)
  • A.J. McCarronย (Alabama)
  • Stephen Morrisย (Miami)
  • Aaron Murrayย (Georgia)
  • Tom Savageย (Pittsburgh)

It appears as though many expect Cleveland to take a quarterback at No. 26 overall. However, this creates an obvious point for other teams to move up ahead of them to select the best available quarterback prospect.

Garoppolo is widely projected to be chosen on day two of the NFL Draft. ย He has a good arm, and excellent vision, touch and accuracy on short and intermediate throws.

Garoppolo threw for a staggering 5,050 yards as a senior in Eastern Illinois’s pass-happy offense. ย He tallied 53 touchdowns against only 9 interceptions.

Last year, Shaw completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,447 yards, 24 touchdowns and one interception while contributingย 558 yardsย rushing.

We have Garoppolo going to the Raidersย in second round of our brand newย 2014 NFL Mock Draft.
