Throughout his three-year NFL career thus far, Pickett has played in 30 total games. He has completed 62.4 percent of his pass attempts for 4,765 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions, while also running for 306 yards and five touchdowns.

The injured quarterback's frustration was evident as he discussed missing critical practice reps, while coaches have told him his running ability — his key differentiator against Joe Flacco — must be shelved.

Browns coach Kevin Stefanski recently said that he liked what he saw from Pickett during the first block of training camp practices that included extensive time with the Browns' first-team offense. Stefanski specifically lauded Pickett's mobility, an ability that could give him an edge over the 40-year-old Flacco.
