Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco could’ve had a different career entirely before his mini-comeback in the AFC North.
While talking on ESPN’s morning show Get Up, NFL veteran Ryan Clark revealed that Flacco actually auditioned for Inside the NFL, which Clark hosts, before making his leap back into the league to play for Cleveland.
“I’m glad we didn’t take him,” Clark quipped about Flacco, who could very well be a playoff-starting quarterback next month as the Browns attempt to secure an AFC Wild Card spot.
This is a fascinating twist of fate, as Flacco has gone from potentially being out of the league and on television to playing for a likely postseason-bound Cleveland.

We’ll see how long Flacco can keep playing at this level, although history does suggest that he’ll be at his best in January if Cleveland can indeed get there.
At the least, Clark insinuates that Flacco has a good plan of what he wants to do when his playing days are over.
