As we reported yesterday, Mularkey is impressed with the play of Travis Brown and his command in the huddle. Because of his play there is no need to look outside the organization for another QB for the depth chart. Tom Donahoe had said after the draft that it is up to Mularkey if he wants him to bring in another quarterback or not.
