Cleveland Browns RB RolesLast Update: 7/28/2025
RB Overview
Role Security: Very Low
7/28/25 -Quinshon Judkins was their second pick, but off-field issues cloud his possible role. Jerome Ford will likely serve as the primary receiving back while sharing rushing work with fourth-round rookie Dylan Sampson while Judkins is out of the picture.
WR Overview
7/28/25 -- Jerry Jeudy earned 145 targets in 2024 and enters this season as the clear No. 1 WR. Cedric Tillman was trending toward a breakout before a season-ending concussion in Week 12, and he should return as the No. 2. Diontae Johnson has a great chance to win the No. 3 role in camp. Michael Woods, despite minimal production since entering the league in 2022, could open camp as the No. 4. Jamari Thrash and DeAndre Carter are both in the mix to challenge for that No. 4 spot.
TE Overview
7/28/25 - David Njoku saw 97 targets in just 11 games last season and should remain the top tight end option. The Browns spent a third-round pick on Harold Fannin, but as long as Njoku stays healthy, Fannin is unlikely to play a major role. He’ll serve as the No. 2 TE heading into the season.
