Jerry Jeudy clarifies viral video was about his daughter
Summary

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy addressed a viral video of him holding up four fingers, clarifying that it represents his daughter's age and not a signal regarding quarterback Deshaun Watson. Jeudy, who has experienced multiple quarterbacks during his seven-year NFL career, indicated that he is frustrated with the ongoing competition for the starting position at his team. This marks at least the fifth consecutive year Jeudy has encountered quarterback uncertainty during training camp. He emphasized his focus is on his performance, stating he will continue to run routes and make plays regardless of the quarterback situation. As the Browns prepare for the season opener against Jacksonville, Jeudy anticipates a more substantial role in the offense this preseason under new head coach Todd Monken.

Quarterback competitions and learning new offenses have been the norm for Jerry Jeudy during his seven seasons in the NFL. The Cleveland Browns wide receiver said Wednesday this is at least the fifth year he has been on a team that's figuring out who will be its starting quarterback during training camp. Jeudy — who has caught passes from 14 starting quarterbacks (seven each with the Browns and Broncos) — further clarified that a recent video on social media showing him holding up four fingers was about the age of his daughter and not an endorsement of Deshaun Watson, who wears that number, becoming Cleveland's starting QB for the Sept. 13 opener at Jacksonville.
