With only 41 wins in the last 10 seasons, the Cleveland Browns have proved to be one of the least successful sports teams in the current era. Only 2 seasons ago they ended with a whopping zero wins under Hue Jackson.
But under their fiery offensive duo of Baker Mayfield and 2014’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, Odell Beckham Jr, they could get some work done in the AFC North. Not to mention young running back Nick Chubb, and Kareem Hunt, who will sit out the first 8 weeks due to suspension.
In an interview with Beckham, he stated that, “I plan on being there the next five years and trying to bring as many championships there as possible.” While Beckham’s commitment to the Cleveland organization is clear, that’s not the only factor that plays into a successful team.
Baker Mayfield also believes in the future of the Browns, and his teammate. He stated, ” He’s here to work, and he wants to be surrounded by people who love him and support him and allow him to be himself. He’s here to play in front of fans who actually care, who will actually show up to every game and pack the stadium and love him for who he is.”
Aside from off-hand disses, Mayfield and Beckham have had a “click” in training camp, but Beckham has had a rest from preseason football. It could be until his Week 1 game against the Tennessee Titans on September 8th that we see him and Baker Mayfield play.
Until then, how the two stars play on the turf against an aggressive defense is unknown. However, many Cleveland Browns fans are optimistic for this season.
