Browns setting RGIII up for success?

Nearly five months later, Jackson is “tickled pink” over Griffin’s 2016 ceiling after naming the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year his starting quarterback on Monday.

It was natural to suspect Griffin was being set up for failure when he landed with a team that featured an overhauled offensive line, a no-name backfield and the game’s most underwhelming wide receiver corps.

Since the offseason began, though, the Browns drafted a dynamic playmaker in Corey Coleman, received word that 2013 All Pro Josh Gordon’s suspension will expire in Week 5 and positioned tailback Duke Johnson for a breakout season.

I think I know what our offense is capable of doing,” Jackson said Monday, via the Akron Beacon Journal.

Multiple league executives recently told NFL Media’s Bucky Brooks that they expect Griffin to provide a short-term spark under Jackson’s tutelage and early-season game plans.

Although Gordon is nursing a quadriceps injury, Jackson is hopeful that the suspended wideout will return to practice soon.

The Buffalo Bills’ injury woes continued on Monday, as NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that left tackle Cordy Glenn is expected to miss the preseason after suffering a high-ankle sprain.

Halfway through last season, Amari Cooper was so dominant that NFL Media’s Daniel Jeremiah was inspired to pick the Raiders rookie over Odell Beckham as the young wide receiver with the highest upside.

Cooper said Monday, via San Francisco’s KGMZ, that he avoided watching his rookie tape this offseason because he was injured for such a large portion of the season that he was never himself.

“When I go (into) games, I don’t think about 2,000 yards,” Jones said, via SiriusXM NFL Radio.
