The Cleveland Browns have brought in three veteran receivers and, now, have brought in two drafted receivers as well. Earlier in the offseason, Amari Cooper was added in a trade while Jakeem Grant, primarily a returner, and Javon Wims were brought in as free agents.
In the third round of the draft, Cleveland added David Bell out of Purdue. Now, with pick #202, the Browns select WR Michael Woods II out of Oklahoma.
Woods is Cleveland’s second Oklahoma addition after Perrion Winfrey was added earlier Saturday. It is unlikely Woods can match his former/current teammate’s energy from his media session.
After two years at Arkansas, Woods moved over to Oklahoma for his final season. His best year came in 2020 with the Razorbacks when he had 32 receptions for 619 yards and five touchdowns.
At the NFL combine, Woods ran a 4.55 40-yard dash with a vertical jump of 34.5 and a broad jump of 125. His short speed scores are the best part of his athletic testing:
Mike Woods is a WR prospect in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 7.54 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 644 out of 2613 WR from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/U5AbKFo7xT #RAS via @Mathbomb pic.twitter.com/efyN9VsySv

For Cleveland, Woods projects as a developmental prospect on the outside with some size and speed to win early in routes.
Showing how much he values blocking, Woods posted a thread of his pancake blocks on Twitter earlier this year:
