From starting QB to backup, 'surprised' DeShone Kizer must change mindset

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Surprised doesn’t even begin to describe how DeShone Kizer felt when he learned he had been traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Green Bay Packers earlier this month.

But whatever team he played for in 2018, Kizer felt strongly that he will be a better quarterback.

Better than the one who ranked last among all regular starters in completion percentage (53.6) last season.

Better than the one who threw a league-high 22 interceptions -- six more than anyone else.

Better than the one who lost all 15 of his starts for the winless Browns.
