Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is facing a make-or-break season with the team. The Browns picked up the fifth-year option on Njoku’s rookie contract, but his long-term status is far from secure.
Njoku is doing what he can to make sure his fourth season in Cleveland is his best. The 2017 first-round pick has added more lean muscle to his already-impressive physique and is training several hours per day in Miami to get ready.
He joined Cleveland Browns Daily on Friday to talk about the opportunity in front of him in new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s offense. In Minnesota, Stefanski used two tight ends in the formation more than any other team in 2019 and that expects to carry to Cleveland. Njoku is liking what he sees so far.
“It’s been a lot more fun than I thought,” Njoku told host Nathan Zegura. “This offense is very tight end friendly, so we have a bunch of scenarios where we are all over the place and having a lot of fun on the field.”
He later stated he’s focusing on continuing to get faster and also to refine his blocking technique.
