4. Demetric Felton – Receiver/Utility RB

Top: 5-9 | Weight: 190 lbs | Age: 24
Expertise: 3 years | School: UCLA

Is that this the final we’ll see of Demetric Felton? You hate to start out off his coaching camp profile with a pessimistic view, however that is what I’ve. It has been clear over the previous couple of seasons that the workforce doesn’t view him as an everyday operating again; they like his skills as a receiver. However that huge receiver room received much more crowded this offseason.

Final yr, Felton had 1 carry for -4 yards and a couple of catches for 8 yards all season. Do you see his position rising?

The X-factor might be if Deshaun Watson builds some sort of robust chemistry with Felton in coaching camp. In our earlier article, I talked about how Watson as soon as utilized Duke Johnson in Houston as a 400/400 rusher/receiver in yardage. That looks as if a longshot, although, even with the departures of Kareem Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson.

5. Hassan Corridor – Rookie RB

Top: 5-10 | Weight: 196 lbs | Age: 22
Expertise: Rookie | School: Georgia Tech

Hassan Corridor is an undrafted free agent who signed with the Browns after this yr’s draft. The workforce gave him a $125,000 signing bonus, displaying their stage of curiosity in wanting him in camp earlier than different groups may snag him.

Whereas I am pessimistic about Felton’s odds of being handled as a operating again, that does not apply to Corridor. Meaning he’ll have an excellent probability at competing for the No. 3 operating again job with John Kelly, who has been a follow squad stape for 3 years. Right here is an evaluation of Corridor’s skills from Lanze Zierlein of NFL.com:

“Corridor runs with good physicality and has an explosive burst. He doesn’t create together with his imaginative and prescient, however he can collect further yardage with athleticism and speak to toughness. His poor cross safety on tape will work in opposition to him, although. Corridor shall be a protracted shot to make a workforce, however his professional day testing and flashes on tape may earn him a camp alternative.”

Right here is one spotlight from Corridor this previous season:

6. Nate McCrary – Backup RB

Top: 6-0 | Weight: 210 lbs | Age: 24
Expertise: 1 yr | School: Saginaw Valley State

In 2021, Nate McCrary signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent. He led the Ravens throughout the preseason that yr, carrying the ball 42 instances for 163 yards (3.88 YPC).

McCrary spent most of his rookie season on the Ravens’ follow squad, however did not make the workforce in 2022. He had a month-long stint on the Panthers’ follow squad final yr, however is now a member of the Browns’ offseason roster. Right here is one good run from McCrary final preseason:

Zierlein mentioned this about McCrary as a draft prospect in 2021:

“A well-built, small-school operating again with good burst and change-of-direction quickness, McCrary must show he can play with the massive boys. He has good velocity flowing to the perimeter, however his imaginative and prescient is common and he doesn’t run with sufficient decisiveness, which works in opposition to his potential for turning into an outside-zone runner. The bodily capacity is a plus, however the tape isn’t particular contemplating his stage of competitors.”
