Cody Kessler says changes are likely coming to NIL rules in the future

Cody Kessler ended his NFL rookie season in 2016 with 1,380 passing yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions.

He replaced Josh McCown and former Heisman Trophy Winner Robert Griffin III as a starter early in the season (Week 2) for a former Trojan assistant, Hue Jackson, who was then coaching the Cleveland Browns. Jackson was an assistant to Paul Hackett in the late 1990s at USC.
