Brock Osweiler is convinced that he's a starting quarterback in the NFL.

"Absolutely," Osweiler said in his first interview since being traded from the Houston Texans to the Cleveland Browns.

To those who doubt, Osweiler added: "I think the proof is in the film for the past two years."

The Texans traded Osweiler one year after he signed a four-year, $72 million contract.

"There was a coach that I played for in college, and he told me, only worry about the things that you can control," Osweiler said. "So from the time of the trade, that's all I've done. I couldn't be any more excited to be here. From the day I arrived, you couldn't have been welcomed in a better way."
