Cleveland Browns: Taking stock of the wide receivers
By Randy Gurzi
Damion Ratley
The Browns used a sixth-round pick on a player who likely will push Louis out of a job. Damion Ratley is a 6-foot-2, 196-pound wide out, but he can fly.
At his Texas A&M Pro Day, Ratley turned in a 4.35 time in the 40-yard dash according to Matt Goul of Cleveland.com.
His production at A&M was limited, but impactful. As a senior he had 30 receptions but managed six touchdowns with an average of 23.1 yards per catch.
Jeff Janis
Brought in for competition, Jeff Janis spent the past four seasons with the Green Bay Packers. He offers a lot of speed and size at 6-foot-3, but is a long shot to make the roster. His best bet to do so is as a kick returner, but he hasn’t really excelled in that area to date and has just nine return attempts the past two seasons.
Evan Berry
Undrafted rookie Evan Berry is the younger brother of safety Eric Berry — of the Kansas City Chiefs. The younger Berry was also a defensive back but recently moved to receiver.

He’s a good kick returner, and has a shot to earn that job for the Browns this year. Still, probably more of a practice squad candidate than anything at this point.
