NFL quarterback. Position: **QB**. Team: **Cleveland Browns**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** QB
- **Team:** Cleveland Browns (CLE)
- **Draft:** 2026, Round 6
- **College:** Arkansas

## 2026 Outlook

Rare athlete with exceptional combine metrics — 43.5" vertical jump and 4.36s 40-time (second-fastest ever for a QB). Made preseason debut with solid athleticism (66 rushing yards) but completed only 60% of college passes and is a raw prospect. Likely third/fourth-string QB or practice squad candidate given the Browns' crowded QB room with Deshaun Watson and Dillon Gabriel. (per Taylen Green makes NFL preseason debut)

**Aug 30 roster cuts — contested roster spot:** Facing cutdown-day decisions, the Browns weighed keeping sixth-rounder Taylen Green against third-rounder Dillon Gabriel in an overcrowded QB room. HC Todd Monken acknowledged both QBs "can play" but the organizational structure left no room for both on the active 53-man roster alongside Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Green's exceptional athleticism (highest vertical jump, second-fastest 40-time for a QB at combine) offered upside, but his 60% college completion percentage and limited NFL experience positioned him as higher risk compared to Gabriel's proven low-turnover profile.
