1. He was a Browns quarterback from 2006-08

Dorsey spent the first three years of his NFL playing career as a quarterback with the San Francisco 49ers — they selected him in the seventh round of the 2003 draft.

He wound up in Cleveland in 2006, however, as a part of the 49ers’ trade for quarterback Trent Dilfer.

In Cleveland, he worked as a backup behind Charlie Frye, Derek Anderson, and later, Brady Quinn.

He made three starts in Cleveland, all coming towards the end of the 2008 season after Anderson was injured in a Week 13 game against the Colts. Dorsey started the next three games once Anderson was placed on injured reserve. Dorsey suffered a concussion in the penultimate game, and was replaced as starter by Bruce Gradkowski in the season finale that year.

In total in Cleveland, he completed 43 of 92 passes for 370 yards with zero touchdowns and seven interceptions.

2. Ohio State fans will remember his playing days for this reason

Dorsey left the University of Miami as the winningest quarterback in school history with a record of 38-2 (1999-2002). He led the Hurricanes to a national championship in 2001.

Ohio State fans will remember him of course for his performance in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, in which Ohio State won the national title in double overtime. In that game Dorsey passed for 296 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.

3. He comes to Cleveland after an interesting tenure in Buffalo

Dorsey was fired in November by Bills head coach Sean McDermott with Buffalo falling to .500 (5-5) following a 24-22 loss to the Broncos. It was their fourth loss in six games, and quarterback Josh Allen committed three of the Bills’ four turnovers in that game. It also marked the sixth straight game Buffalo was held to under 26 points.
