00:00 The football season has officially started with the Browns defeating the Jets in the
00:03 Pro Football Hall of Fame game.
00:06 As expected, most of the starters did not dress for the game, but it was a great opportunity
00:11 to look at the back half of the roster and evaluate what guys might be able to make the
00:15 final 53.
00:17 One guy that stood out in particular was quarterback Dorian Thompson Robinson.
00:22 The team decided to start Kellen Mond for the first half of the game, and he definitely
00:25 struggled and didn't look very confident.
00:28 DTR was able to play in the second half and really impressed a lot of people.
00:33 His confidence showed, which wasn't surprising because he did start for five seasons at UCLA,
00:38 so he has a ton of playing experience.
00:40 The moment definitely wasn't too big for him, and he looked very poised in the pocket, especially
00:45 compared to Mond in the first half.
00:48 Similar to Deshaun Watson, DTR is able to make plays with his feet, and that definitely
00:52 showed in this game.
00:54 But what was even more impressive was his ability to go through all of his reads and
00:58 then use his mobility to still make a play.
01:02 During the 11-play, 88-yard touchdown drive, he even threw a nice block for Dmitryk Felton
01:08 to allow him to get in the end zone.
01:10 You really can't teach that type of instinct or effort, so it was nice to see that DTR
01:15 has that in him.
01:16 The Browns had a really nice fourth-quarter drive to secure the win, and Dorian was 4-4-4
01:20 passing for 44 yards, including a 22-yard touchdown pass to Austin Watkins Jr.
01:27 This performance really showed why the Browns did decide to take him with pick 140.
01:32 It was a controversial pick at the time because the team already has a lot of money invested
01:37 in Deshaun Watson, but Dorian could end up being a really secure backup that could step
01:42 in at any time when needed and have success.
