While the Browns offensive coordinator, Rob Chudzinski, certainly deserves a lot of the credit for helping Anderson have a career year that season with 29 touchdown passes and almost 3,800 yards passing, Anderson saw Dorsey, his backup, as a valuable confidant in the quarterback room.

"He's always been a great source for me just to lean on," Anderson said. "When I was playing my best, he was a guy in the room most of the time with me watching tape and bouncing things off me. He was helping me and was a huge factor in 2007 when I had my best season. He and I have had a great relationship over the years."

Dorsey, who had played under Chudzinski at Miami for the last two seasons of his college career, was familiar with the Browns offensive system, and passed on valuable scheme solutions to Anderson so he could succeed on the field.

"Ken in practice would relay some things to me that maybe Rob told him. He was a great resource for me because I was getting information from him about things he had done in the past in that system that worked for him, or something he and Rob talked about in passing," said Anderson. "It was really good for me. Sometimes it's good to hear it from another player as opposed to from your coach. Now I've seen it come full circle for him and it's been fun to watch."

Now Anderson will likely take on a similar role as a backup to Josh Allen and help relay the messaging from Dorsey to Buffalo's starting QB.
