Browns quarterback Jameis Winston has mainly been a backup for the past five years, but he starts Sunday and he thinks he’s going to show he’s much more than just a backup.

Winston, who will start against the Ravens in place of the injured Deshaun Watson, said he is not only a good starter, but a great starter.

“I see this as an opportunity to go out there and be my very best, and if I’m my very best, I’ll be a great NFL starter,” Winston said.

Winston said he is excited to start Sunday.

“I am extremely grateful to have another opportunity to do what the Lord has called me to do in the NFL, and that is to be a starting NFL quarterback. So I am beyond grateful for this, I am prepared and I will do my very best,” Winston said.

Realistically, if the 30-year-old Winston wanted to prove he was a great starting quarterback, he probably would have already done so. But he does have talent and has played well at times. And he couldn’t possibly be worse than Watson.
