Jared Verse Steps Into Myles Garrett’s Role as Browns QB Hype Man

Jared Verse, the Browns’ new defensive lineman acquired in the Myles Garrett trade, is already stepping into Garrett’s role as the team’s quarterback hype man. During an appearance on Good Morning Football, Verse praised Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, calling them 'two elite quarterbacks battling it out'-echoing Garrett’s optimistic remarks from last offseason.

What Happened in the Trade?

The Browns traded Myles Garrett to the [team name] this offseason, receiving Jared Verse in return. Verse, the 2024 Rookie of the Year and a two-time Pro Bowler, is now tasked with filling Garrett’s shoes-both on the field and in the locker room. His recent comments about the Browns’ quarterback situation mirror Garrett’s public support for the team’s QB struggles last year.

Why It Matters for Myles Garrett

Garrett’s departure leaves a void in leadership, but Verse is quickly adapting. Last season, Garrett remained publicly supportive of the Browns’ quarterback situation, even as Deshaun Watson struggled with injuries and Shedeur Sanders failed to impress. Now, Verse is picking up where Garrett left off, offering praise despite the team’s ongoing QB uncertainty.

What’s Next for the Browns?

With training camp approaching, the Browns’ quarterback depth chart includes Watson, Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and rookie Taylen Green. Verse’s optimism may be a morale boost, but the team’s QB situation remains a question mark. Last season, Cleveland cycled through six quarterbacks in camp, including Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett. This year, the pressure is on Verse to help stabilize the defense-and keep the hype alive.
