When Cleveland Browns star Jerry Jeudy flashed the number four on a TikTok livestream, it caused a ruckus among fans that left the former Alabama wide receiver taken aback.
Talking to reporters about the stream on Tuesday, which many took as an endorsement of Deshaun Watson, who wears the number, over Shedeur Sanders in Cleveland’s quarterback competition, Jeudy put that speculation to bed, noting that the edited video actually showed his four-year-old daughter, which is why he flashed the number.
“I threw out the four because she’s 4 years old,” Jeudy said via ESPN. “I don’t know what they’re thinking in their mind, so I had to just go up there and … clear it up to them and know what really happened and not what the media portrayed it to be.”
Jeudy also commented on the video on social media for fans who don’t keep a close eye on media scrums, letting it be known that he’s ‘mature enough’ not to weigh in on a choice that’s beyond his control.
“I’ve been in the league for seven years — at least five or six of the years, it’s all been a quarterback competition within those years,” Jeudy said Wednesday. “I think I’m mature enough and wise enough to not answer questions like that. For everyone to believe that I would answer something like that on social media is kind of wild, but you got to understand this [is] where we’re in and understand how everybody’s viewing the quarterback competition in this room.
“So every little thing is going to try to turn it into that. Which I get it, I understand. But like I said, I spoke on it. I said what I truly felt about the situation, and I leave it off from there. If anybody wants to believe [that], that’s what they want to believe.”
Does Jeudy have a preference in the Browns competition? Maybe yes, maybe no, but one thing is for sure: he isn’t going to comment on it before Todd Munkin makes his pick.
