New Browns offensive coordinator Todd Haley is not just a good offensive mind.

He’s also wise, which is something that will serve him well – almost as much as his offensive acumen in some respects – as he goes forward during his time in Cleveland.

We learned that – among a lot of other things – during his introductory press conference on Wednesday at Browns Headquarters in Berea.

As was to be expected, the Cleveland media members in attendance, who were just doing their job, tried to do everything they could with their questioning so that Haley would tip his hand on what he thinks about the offensive personnel he has inherited, and the prospects, especially at the all-important and, for the Browns, all-elusive, position of quarterback, in the 2018 NFL Draft.

But Haley wouldn’t bite.

Check out these exchanges:

*On the four QBs most consider to be at the top of this year’s draft class: “In the process of evaluating both our players and the potential players out there, so I really won’t be able to answer.”

*On if he has formed an opinion on WRs Josh Gordon or Corey Coleman: “I’m in the process of doing that. I don’t want to speak too early on anything. It is a process, so I’m just going to respect that.”

*On DeShone Kizer’s experience last season as a young QB and challenges young QBs face early in their careers: “It is tough. It is really, really tough. I was in Dallas and we had Drew Bledsoe. We had this young quarterback who was only running Card O named Tony Romo. He got thrown into the mix after a few games. I think the first game he might have fumbled one for a touchdown. Like I said, that mental toughness and the ability to weather the many storms that come up is very critical to the guy that’s handling the ball every snap of the game.”

*On if he expects to go on visits this offseason to help evaluate players:

“Again, I’m in the process of coaching coaches. That is as important as anything and laying this foundation that we need to lay. We will get to that and probably time is moving faster than you want it to.”

*On what pieces of the Browns offense excite him: “Again, I’m in that process of evaluation. I don’t want to quick answer any of that out of respect for everybody involved, myself included. I’m just going to reserve some of those until a later date when I feel like I know what I’m talking about a little more.”

*On if he has lobbied Joe Thomas to return for one more season:

“That will be up to him, but obviously, he has been a very good player for a long time.”

Nice job, Todd Haley. Good first impression.
