WWE star The Miz, whose real name is Mike Mizanin, has become a prominent figure among Cleveland Browns fans, expressing his unwavering support for the team. Known for his enthusiasm for the Browns, Miz has shown his dedication by attending games in Cleveland and discussing the team on NFL shows. His passion for the team is evident in his recent comments about the Browns’ new quarterback prospects.
The Browns made headlines in April when they traded the No. 2 overall pick in the draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who selected Travis Hunter. In return, the Browns received the No. 5 pick, which they used to draft Mason Graham. However, the Browns continued to build their quarterback room in later rounds, selecting Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. These selections have generated significant interest, particularly with President Donald Trump’s attention to Sanders’ potential in the NFL.
Miz, who recently spoke with Fox News Digital, emphasized the importance of learning from a seasoned quarterback like Joe Flacco. Despite not being a professional football player himself, Miz expressed his belief in the value of Flacco’s experience in the NFL. He noted that Flacco’s Super Bowl success and the leadership of coach Kevin Stefanski would provide an ideal environment for Sanders to develop his skills and maintain his leadership qualities.
Sanders is now set to compete with Gabriel and Kenny Pickett for the quarterback spots on the Browns’ roster. Flacco’s experience could give him an edge in the competition, as he took over for an injured Deshaun Watson in 2023, helping the Browns maintain a playoff pace. However, Watson’s recent injury, a torn Achilles in 2024 and a re-ruptured Achilles during recovery, has left his health uncertain, adding another layer of complexity to the Browns’ quarterback situation.
The Browns face a critical decision in 2025 regarding their quarterback room, which will be a pivotal factor in their success. The team’s ability to manage this competition will determine whether they can achieve their goals in the NFL. With the addition of Sanders, the Browns are hoping for a bright future in the quarterback position, despite the challenges they face in maintaining a balanced and competitive roster.
