BEREA, Ohio -- Following his first practice with the Browns, former Denver Broncos punter Britton Colquitt felt both welcomed and strangely out of place.I feel ancient compared to some of these guys, the 31-year-old said.Clevelands got some kids this season.With 17 rookies and 28 players who have played one NFL season or less, the Browns will be one of the leagues youngest teams. They lack experience, have unproven talent and the new front offices rebuilding plan will test the patience of Clevelands fed-up fan base as well as coach Hue Jackson, who expects to struggle balancing development and trying to win.I dont know how to do that. I just dont, he said. I have an expectation and Im not backing down from that and Im not changing that thought process in our players. That is just what we are going to do and we are going to find a way to do it. I dont know how its going to happen.By hook or by crook, we are going to get this done. We have to. That is all I know. I dont know anything else.When he took the Cleveland job in January, Jackson knew what he was getting into. The teams reconfigured decision-making group, led by Paul DePodesta, a former baseball executive known for his Moneyball approach and hired by Browns owner Jimmy Haslam as the organizations strategy director, was going to clean out the teams roster like never before.The Browns, who have had 13 double-digit loss seasons since 1999, began by dumping a few high-priced veterans in their 30s. They made a few trades for future assets -- getting a first-rounder from Philadelphia -- and then selecting 14 players in the draft.When the team submitted its 53-man roster this weekend, 13 of those draft picks made the team along with four other rookies, two first-year players and nine players headed into their second seasons.Its a young, impressionable squad, maybe younger and more impressionable than Jackson imagined.No matter, its his team.I didnt know how young we would be, Jackson said Monday as the Browns began building toward Sundays opener against the Eagles, who in an ironic twist will start quarterback Carson Wentz, a player Cleveland passed on a chance of taking and traded with Philadelphia. We have what we have. Im excited about the guys that we have. We just have to coach them up and get them better.This will take time, and Jackson understands that. And although he may privately concede the Browns may lose a lot more than they win this year, Jackson said having an inexperienced team can be beneficial.It can be because they are not `NFL-ized, he said. They havent been in the National Football League. I think some of our guys are just going to go play, and I think that is what we have to do as a football team. We cant get worried about anything.For Jordan Payton, one of four rookie wide receivers on Clevelands roster, its essential that the teams young players lean on the veterans to guide them.You ask questions, you stay right on their hip pocket, said the fifth-round pick from UCLA. Youve got to put your egos aside. You dont know everything, at all. You know nothing, and so you trust your coaches, you trust the vets. You ask a ton of questions and you soak it all in and you go out and work.Colquitt has seen what can happen when young players buy in, stay hungry and learn.He began his career with the Broncos in 2010, when they went 4-12. Five years later, they were Super Bowl champions. Of course, it helped getting Peyton Manning along the way, but Colquitt said theres something to having a team filled with young players who dont know any better.These (young) guys are happy to be making a paycheck and doing something they love, he said. Theres more to it than just a game. Theres a lot of stress and things like that involved. But with a younger team, they are just happy to be out here, and they dont know that there have been down years.Game notes Jackson quickly rebuffed a question about the Browns decision not to draft Wentz. We went another direction, he said. ... Rookie WR Corey Coleman, who had a rough preseason, opened Mondays practice with two dropped passes while the media was in attendance. He said it got better from there and acknowledged he needs to relax more. They drafted me in the first round, so they expect a lot out of me and I expect a lot out of myself, he said. ...
