The Cleveland Browns have waived former Georgia Bulldogs running back Brian Herrien. The Browns picked up Herrien as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft.
Herrien is a victim of the NFL’s shortened preseason (there’s no preseason games due to COVID-19). Additionally, NFL teams have a much smaller initial roster size than in previous years. In a normal season, Herrien would’ve played in a few preseason games and had a chance to display his abilities.
Instead, Herrien has barely had an opportunity to show his talent and work ethic. Herrien has been doubted before. He overcame a low rating as a high school recruit to see immediate playing time in Georgia’s loaded backfield in 2016. The Georgia Bulldog great will look to do the same in the NFL.
He ran for 490 yards and scored six touchdowns last season for the Dawgs. Herrien will look to find a new NFL home as soon as possible. Best of luck to Herrien.
Brian Herrien may have a better opportunity to earn carries for another NFL team. Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt are very talented running backs and wouldn’t have ceded many carries to a rookie.
Throwback to his incredible catch this past season against the Florida Gators:
