Professional career
In 2016, Kessler put forward his candidacy for the NFL draft . League site experts predicted a choice for him in the fifth or sixth round, noting the accuracy of his transfers, especially when working in the "envelope", and the strength of his hand. The downsides included its dimensions, reduced gear efficiency, when he was forced to give a pass on the run, inefficient footwork. Despite the forecast, Cody was chosen by the Cleveland Browns club in the third round under a total ninety-third number [3] .
In June 2016, Kessler signed with the Browns a four-year contract worth $ 3.4 million [4] . He became the team’s third quarterback after Robert Griffin and Josh McCone . Both were injured in the first two games of the season and Kessler entered the starting lineup for the third game. In total, he spent eight games for the team in the starting lineup, making six touchdowns with two interceptions. On October 24, 2016, in a game with Cincinnati Bengals , he received a concussion [5] [6] .
In the spring of 2017, the Browns chose the draft quarterback Deshon Kaiser , who took the lead in the regular season, in the draft. Kessler took part in only three matches, having completed twenty-three attempts to pass [5] . In March 2018, he was exchanged at the Jacksonville Jaguars for the right to choose in the seventh round of the 2019 draft. In the new club, he took the place of the second quarterback of the team after Blake Bortles [7] .
As part of the Jaguars in the season of 2018, Cody played in five games, in four of them in the starting lineup. He got a chance to prove himself after a series of unsuccessful performances by Bortles, scored 709 pass yards, made two touchdowns with two interceptions, and at the end of the season he again lost his place in the main team [8] .
In early May, the club announced the expulsion of Kessler. A few days later he entered into an agreement with Philadelphia [9] .
