Cody Kessler plans to be Browns starter, but won't be 'arrogant' in process

Cody Kessler says he plans to compete for the starting quarterback job in Cleveland, but won't be a knucklehead trying to unseat Robert Griffin III or Josh McCown.

"If there's a team that has a 15-year vet or if there's an open competition, I'm treating it as if I'm the starter," Kessler said via CBS Sports Radio. "... I'm going to come in there and compete for a spot, but I'm not going to be arrogant."
