I'm sick of the optimism!

The coolest part for me is that I had no expectations for Browning. He was undrafted and sat around practice squads for 4 years. He's 27 years old.

Not exactly the type of guy you'd have high hopes for.

I know now that he had quite a start for the Huskies and won some Heisman votes, but fell off quite a bit after surgery on his throwing arm.

Maybe we're getting the fully recovered version of him?

Also, fun fact: Browning finished 6th in Heisman voting in 2016 and went undrafted. Jeff Blake finished 6th in Heisman voting in 1991 and went undrafted.

Both replaced injured 1st overall QB's.

History repeating itself? Very interesting. 

He only went undrafted because he had shoulder surgery. If he had not torn his shoulder, he probably would have been a 1st or 2nd rounder.
