Before this NFL season, Bengals quarterback Jake Browning was just another backup.
Sure, he was beloved by some—namely Washington fans. Browning steered the Huskies to the College Football Playoff in 2016 with 43 touchdown passes against nine interceptions, garnering a sixth-place finish in the Heisman voting for his efforts.
