Jerry Jeudy pushes back against characterization of video regarding QB preference

On Sunday, a video emerged that purported to show Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy stating his preference at quarterback. Jeudy has responded to the viral clip.

First, it’s important to watch the video. There’s a skip. After the question appears on the screen regarding his choice at the position, the image jumps. After the edit, Jeudy flashes four fingers, which is being interpreted as Jeudy wanting Deshaun Watson to get the job over Shedeur Sanders.

Here’s what Jeudy had to say, on Twitter: “I don’t speak on decisions that aren’t mine to make. I support my teammates/Brothers, I do my job, and control what I can control. Let’s stop creating narrative that aren’t there for likes and clicks. I bet this won’t go viral because it’s too positive/real for y’all.”

Again, the video isn’t reliable. It skips before Jeudy holds up four fingers. He could have been answering any question. It’s impossible to conclude with any degree of certainty that he was answering the question of which quarterback he prefers.

And he’s right. It’s not his decision to make. Why would he state a preference before training camp even opens? Jeudy needs to be ready to work with, and get targeted by, whoever wins the job.
