The Cleveland Browns are hoping that the 2024 season proves their decision to trade for 28-year-old Deshaun Watson was the right one. While their 2023 season provided a lot of optimism for the future, much of their success came with Joe Flacco under center.
However, there is another signal caller who was drafted by the Browns who will now be in the broadcast booth.
Former Cleveland Browns QB Announces Retirement From The NFL
Having played 13 seasons in the NFL, including six with Washington Commanders, three with Cleveland Browns, two with Arizona Cardinals, and one with 49ers, Colt McCoy is retiring and moving into broadcasting. An announcement of his decision was made via YouTube:
McCoy was one of the best quarterbacks in University of Texas history:
While McCoy played 13 seasons in the NFL, he is still much more well known for his time as the quarterback at the University of Texas from 2005 to 2009.
McCoy was a redshirt freshman on Texas’ 2005 BCS national championship team then became a 4-year starter for the Longhorns. He left school with the NCAA Division I career record for wins for a quarterback (45), was the only player in school history to win or share team MVP 4 consecutive years and was a 2-time Heisman Trophy finalist.
He was also a two-time Walter Camp Player of the Year Award winner and led Texas to the BCS National Championship Game following the 2009 season. He also won the Maxwell Award and the Davey O’Brien Award that season.
Against Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game, McCoy was famously knocked out of the game with a shoulder injury on Texas’ first offensive series.
McCoy was drafted by the Browns in the 3rd round (No. 85 overall) of the 2010 NFL draft.
