Brandon Weeden having trouble with under center snaps at Browns’ rookie camp

The Browns used the 22nd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft on Brandon Weeden, quarterback out of Oklahoma State, making the 28-year-old the oldest player ever to be drafted in the 1st round. The Browns are counting on Weeden, who spent 5 years playing minor league baseball before attending Oklahoma State for football, to have an immediate impact for a team that hasn’t made the playoffs in seemingly forever.

However, according to the Akron-Beacon Journal, Weeden is reportedly struggling with a fundamental part of the quarterback position, taking snaps under center. This makes some sense as he spent most of his college career in the shotgun, rather than under center. This shouldn’t be a huge deal for the Browns as it’s a fairly easy skill to learn with practice. Weeden is still expected to be their week 1 starter over incumbent Colt McCoy.
