There is a lot of excitement surrounding the Cleveland Browns going into the 2021 season. It all started with their great results in 2020 and continued into a very good offseason. Their 2021 NFL draft class, with Greg Newsome II and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah leading the way, was the cherry on top of an “excitement sundae” this offseason.
While that excitement is great for fans as training camp approaches, very rarely do quality teams rely on multiple rookies to make a significant, consistent impact throughout a season. Instead, rookies often flash quality play but struggle or hit the dread “rookie wall” later in the season.
While the Browns 2021 draft class has a lot of potential, it is possible that Andrew Berry’s first draft class, in 2020 could have a bigger impact. Taking a look back at each of those picks, where could they improve? What competition do they face for a bigger role? What can we expect from them in 20201?
