We have yet to see his first product take the field yet, but new Browns GM Andrew Berry is already garnering considerable respect among some of the most important judges of his job performance: agents.
Berry fared quite well in a survey of anonymous NFL agents conducted by Ben Standig of The Athletic. The survey covered a wide range of NFL topics, but perception and evaluation of the front offices was a key point. And in that realm, Berry is impressing early.
Berry’s moves helped the Browns collect the third-most votes for the NFL team having the best offseason. The Buccaneers and Dolphins were the only teams ranked above Cleveland, and it’s tied directly to Berry.
“I think (first-year general manager) Andrew Berry is a great mind. On a personal level, I like him. We have great conversations. I just think the way he deals with people, his football knowledge,” Standig quotes one agent.
Berry also got the third-most votes for the most trustworthy GM. That’s a remarkable showing of respect and integrity for Berry just months into his job.
