In response, the Browns have officially waived quarterback Kellen Mond <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1694711314852331943?s=20" rel="noopener">as of Thursday morning</a>, reports ESPN’s Adam Schefter.</p><p>Kellen Mond seeing his career with the Browns come to an end comes as no surprise with how good Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been during the preseason. Thompson-Robinson has been poised in multiple appearances, showing comfortability in the pocket as well as an elusiveness with his legs that fits the Browns style of offense.</p><p>Behind Deshaun Watson, Thompson-Robinson will be a perfect backup that the Browns should feel confident in relying upon in case something were to happen to Watson. With that being said, it is now time for Mond to try and reinvigorate his NFL career elsewhere.</p><p>Coming out of Texas A&amp;M, Mond was a very intriguing prospect, but he has not panned out anywhere so far in the NFL. It will be very interesting to see if another team takes a chance on him given how uninspiring he has been in his few years in the league.</p><p>For the Browns, they have to be excited about their quarterback room with Watson and Thompson-Robinson as the NFL regular season is right around the corner. Watson is obviously the starting quarterback and really does not have to worry about the security of his job, but if an unfortunate injury comes his way, the Browns should be confident that Thompson-Robinson will be able to pick up the slack.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They are not going to be starting when wins and losses really start to matter, but lasting impressions can still be made. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is currently in the midst of his own quest to do just that for the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>The dynamic athlete is getting another chance to lock down backup QB duties, with head coach Kevin Stefanski announcing that <a href="https://twitter.com/AroundTheNFL/status/1691565427032514733" rel="noopener">he will be starting</a> in Thursday’s Week 2 preseason matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL.com. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-ucla-coach-chip-kelly-speaks-dorian-thompson-robinsons-impressive-nfl-preseason-debut" rel="noopener">Thompson-Robinson impressed</a> at the annual Hall of Fame Game versus the New York Jets, going 8-for-11 with 82 passing yards and a touchdown to lead the comeback win. He was arguably even better against the Washington Commanders last week.</p><p>Another solid showing could surprisingly make the rookie fifth-round pick one of the Browns’ leading training camp darlings. He excelled as a dual threat in five seasons with UCLA and has the versatility to translate to an NFL offense, at least in some capacity. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-deshaun-watson-year-2-kevin-stefanski" rel="noopener">Deshaun Watson is not losing</a> his ironclad grip on the starting job, but Dorian Thompson-Robinson is showing the right amount of poise and ability to prove that he belongs in Cleveland’s QB room</p><p>Even in a preseason game, finding success versus the Eagles carries weight. They are among the best teams in the league and will look to mow through this formidable offensive line. Ideally, the 23-year-old signal caller will improvise and use his legs to avoid any overwhelming pressure.</p><p>Regardless of where Thompson-Robinson ends up on the depth chart, him earning another start injects much-needed enthusiasm into this upcoming exhibition matchup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Kellen Mond got the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-dtr-deshaun-watson-3-overreactions-win-over-jets" rel="noopener">start for the Browns</a> but former UCLA football quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson came in and played very well, earning him some praise from his former coach, Chip Kelly.</p><p>“I hope he doesn’t continue to be a lead blocker on plays because we’ve got to keep him healthy, but <a href="https://twitter.com/latbbolch/status/1687495165949452288" rel="noopener">I was happy for him</a>,” Kelly said according to a tweet from Ben Bolch. “And it was funny because it was him and Felton back together, so it was good to see those two guys excel in the first game.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-dorian-thompson-robinsons-reaction-lights-going-out-hall-of-fame-game" rel="noopener">Dorian Thompson-Robinson finished the</a> game 8/11 for 82 yards and one touchdown. He didn’t throw any interceptions or take any sacks, and he finished with a QB rating of 124.1. You can’t ask for much better of a debut.</p><p>This performance was no surprise to Kelly, as he saw Thompson-Robinson shine last year for UCLA. Last season, Thompson-Robinson threw for over 3,000 yards for the Bruins and added 27 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. He ended up going in the fifth round to the Browns with the 140th pick.</p><p>Thursday’s game was just the beginning of the preseason for the Browns. Thompson-Robinson will be able to showcase his skills a few more times before the regular season starts, and if can continue to play at this level, perhaps he’ll find himself getting some meaningful snaps during the 2023 season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

It was a very entertaining game too, with the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-myles-garretts-odd-robert-saleh-postgame-moment-cleveland-jets-fans-wondering" rel="noopener">Browns squeaking out a close</a> 21-16 win after trailing at halftime. One of the biggest storylines of the night, however, had nothing to do with football.</p><p>Before the fourth quarter got underway, the lights went out at Tom Benson Hall of Fame stadium, leaving players and fans surprised and wondering if the game would continue. One of those players was Browns QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who had quite the humorous response to the matter in his postgame interview.</p><p>“They turn the lights off to do a light show at the start of the fourth quarter and it was the start of the fourth quarter,” <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-dorian-thompson-robinson-opens-up-relationship-jets-aaron-rodgers" rel="noopener">Thompson-Robinson said in a</a> video posted on Twitter by Mary Kay Cabot. “So that’s what <a href="https://twitter.com/MaryKayCabot/status/1687309759219695616" rel="noopener">I thought was going on</a>. I was just trying to stay warm on the sideline, hoping they don’t cancel the game or anything.”</p><p>Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s response got some laughs from the press. He also turned some heads in the actual game. Kellen Mond was the starter for the Browns, but Thompson-Robinson came in and played great. He went 8/11 for 82 yards and one touchdown, earning himself a 124.1 QB rating.</p><p>With a good comeback and a period of time with no lights, the Hall of Fame Game provided NFL fans with a lot of entertainment for the first preseason game of the year. Things begin to heat up next week with a full slate of preseason action.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Rodgers delivered a message to Thompson-Robinson at the rookie premiere, and has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-jets-aaron-rodgers-stern-message-dorian-thompson-robinson-doubters" rel="noopener">vocal in letting fans know</a> that they shouldn’t be sleeping on the Browns youngster just because he was a Day 3 draft pick.</p><p>While Thursday night’s action was just a preseason contest, it’s worth taking note of how solid Thompson-Robinson looked under center for the Browns. While he isn’t going to overtake Deshaun Watson as the team’s starter at any point in the foreseeable future, it’s clear that he has a lot of potential as he embarks on his rookie campaign, and with Rodgers helping him out, Thompson-Robinson could be a sneaky good quarterback prospect for Cleveland.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
