Browns QB Joe Flacco Had Sobering Take on His Career Amid Comeback Player Award Buzz
At 38 years old, Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco isn’t taking anything for granted this season.
Flacco, who signed with the Browns in late November, has been making his case for the Comeback Player of the Year award with his unbelievable performances of late. The former New York Jets quarterback has led Cleveland to four straight wins and racked up 1,616 yards and 13 touchdowns while completing over 60 percent of his passes.
His numbers on the stat sheet tell one story. To Flacco, who’s played on as many as four teams in the last 16 seasons, his career could have gone much differently—or it could have never happened at all.
“You can tell that guys look at you a little bit differently just because of the fact that this is the 16th year that I’ve been in this league,” Flacco said on Wednesday. “I always say, if I messed up in high school, I could be these kids’ dads.”
