USC QB Cody Kessler surged up to the Cleveland Browns in the 3rd round, becoming the 93rd overall pick of the NFL Draft. He is the highest drafted USC quarterback since Mark Sanchez went 5th overall in 2009.Kessler is the seventh Trojan QB taken in the NFL Draft since 2003. No other school has produced more than four in that time period.
The Browns have enjoyed picking Trojans lately as Cleveland selected LB Hayes Pullard (now in Jacksonville) and TE Randall Telfer last year. They also drafted TE Jordan Cameron (now in Miami) back in 2011.
With three total picks in the first three rounds, USC is enjoying its most productive start to an NFL Draft since 2011.
