Rookie Thompson-Robinson was an interesting prospect out of UCLA because he has a live arm and quality rushing skills. But he was clearly raw and must improve his footwork, his processing and his calmness in the pocket. Sitting behind Deshaun Watson and Josh Dobbs on Cleveland's depth chart this year should benefit him, but the long-term view is that he'll be a backup. That's why he's not only undraftable in seasonal leagues, but Dynasty formats too.

Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Impressive in second-half action
Rotowire
Thompson-Robinson completed eight of 11 passes for 82 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions while adding six carries for 36 yards during the Browns' 21-16 preseason win over the Jets in Thursday night's Hall of Fame Game.
Thompson-Robinson played the entire second half and immediately helmed an 11-play, 93-yard touchdown drive on his first possession. The rookie fifth-round pick was back at it two drives later, connecting with Austin Watkins for a 22-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter. Considering he didn't turn the ball over and also offered an impressive rushing dimension, Thompson-Robinson arguably outperformed his primary competitor for a roster spot, Kellen Mond, on the night. The two will continue their job battle a week from Friday in a home preseason matchup against the Commanders.

Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Will play Thursday
Rotowire
Thompson-Robinson will play in the second half against the Jets on Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Thomas-Robinson, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2023 Draft, should get a long look in the Hall of Fame Game. Although Deshaun Watson is the clear No. 1 quarterback on the team's positional depth chart, there is some uncertainty in the pecking order behind him between Kellen Mond, Joshua Dobbs and Thomas-Robinson. Mond is slated to draw the start Thursday.

Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: Intriguing landing spot in Cleveland
Rotowire
The Browns selected Thompson-Robinson in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 140th overall.
A five-year starter at UCLA, Thompson-Robinson had plenty of experience running an NFL-style offense with Chip Kelly at the helm. The 23-year-old set career highs in passing touchdowns (27), rushing touchdowns (12) and rushing yards (646) in his final season at UCLA, but the growth as a playmaker was offset by a rise in turnovers. Thompson-Robinson makes for an intriguing backup behind Deshaun Watson, though he'll have to battle Joshua Dobbs and Kellen Mond for slotting on the depth chart.
