Cleveland Browns: Catching up on coaching hires - Dawgs By Nature

Analyst Believes Browns Open To Unite With the Exceptional Ace from the Miami Dolphins following the Crisis Within

The Clemson Tigers were stacked with NFL talent during their run of six consecutive playoff appearances from 2015 until 2020.

An incredible 31 players were drafted during that time, including current Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

While at Clemson, Watson played with five wide receivers that would be drafted by NFL franchises from 2015 until 2017, showing the quarterback had plenty of talent at his disposal.

The Plain Dealer’s Mary Kay Cabot sparked rumors on Memorial Day weekend that the Browns could be open to reuniting Watson with a current wide receiver from those playing days.

In Sunday’s article, Cabot wrote that the Browns would consider adding current Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow should Watson request the move.

Renfrow has succeeded in the NFL, finishing the 2021 season with a Pro Bowl appearance after catching 103 passes for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns.

In his career, Renfrow has played in 73 games since joining the NFL, amassing 269 receptions and 2,884 receiving yards over that span.

Watson was electric with Renfrow during the 2016 college season, most notably connecting with the wideout for the game-winning touchdown against Alabama in the national championship contest to give Clemson its second title.

Cabot’s article did buttress the rumor with a note that Cleveland is happy with its current wide receiver roster.

The Browns have 12 wide receivers on their 90-man roster, including presumed starters like Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, and Elijah Moore.

During OTAs this weekend, Watson worked with Jeudy as well as recent draft picks such as Cedric Tillman, Michael Woods II, and Jamari Thrash.

Elijah Moore was one of the noticeable absentees when the Cleveland Browns began their offseason activities (OTAs) last week. While the first sessions were completely voluntary, Browns fans wondered if the veteran wide receiver was potentially upset about having to deal with more positional competition this offseason.

Fortunately, it doesn’t look like anything serious is going on based on Browns insider Mary Kay Cabot’s latest report.

According to Cabot, Moore is officially back practicing with the Browns. The 24-year-old was in attendance when the second phase of OTAs began on Tuesday and “will probably be here the whole week.”

The news of Moore’s return comes just a few days after the wideout fired back at those questioning his absence. “Outwork everyone!” he posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday afternoon, telling everyone to ignore the haters in a less-than-PG way.

After an abysmal 2023 performance, it’s encouraging to see Moore participating in voluntary workouts in hopes of a bounce-back showing this fall.

The Browns acquired Moore from the New York Jets last year in hopes that he could excel in the WR2 role behind Amari Cooper. While the ex-Mississippi product was far from the NFL’s worst receiver last year, the fact that he only recorded 59 receptions, 640 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games left much to be desired.
