Good news for Browns fans… there’s a top quarterback prospect out there who actually wouldn’t mind taking his talents to Cleveland: Wyoming’s Josh Allen! Unlike Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen, Allen seems up to the challenge of leading the Browns to a win or two and becoming a franchise legend.
For real. Allen said this during an interview on 92.3 The Fan (via Cleveland.com):
“If I’m fortunate enough to become a Cleveland Brown, you can expect everything from me,” Allen told Bull and Fox on 92.3 The Fan.”I want to be the guy that turns around the Cleveland Browns. The guy that does that is going to be immortalized in Cleveland forever.”
…
“I’m not saying if I want to be drafted by a certain team or not but I definitely think this is a situation in Cleveland where this is the time where a quarterback can step in and do his job without worrying or having to worry about the notion that this is the place where quarterbacks go to die because I definitely think there are some good things going on with the Browns organization.”
He added that he isn’t afraid of the Browns curse when questioned at the Senior Bowl today:

ESPN’s Mel Kiper has Allen going to the Browns in the first version of his mock draft, with Rosen and Darnold following shortly after at No. 2 and No. 5 respectively.
Maybe’s he’s the guy — you can’t deny his hand size:
