Three new Cleveland Browns players who could steal jobs

The Cleveland Browns don’t have many starting spots open as of now. That doesn’t mean some players can’t come in and steal a job with a great training camp.

Some of the big moves made by the Cleveland Browns this offseason ended up bringing in players who have defined roles. For example, we all know that Odell Beckham, Jr. will start at wide receiver right away. The same goes for Sheldon Richardson who will be in the lineup from the start at defensive tackle.

However, these aren’t the only new players who could become starters. As of now, the Browns don’t have many spaces open for starting jobs but that doesn’t mean someone can’t come in and impress them so much that they steal the job of a returning player.

This has happened before, with mixed results. For example, Desmond Harrison was a shocking announcement as the starting left tackle when the Browns kicked off their 2018 season. He ended up losing his job, but the fact was he did enough to impress former head coach Hue Jackson.

Another example is Terrance Mitchell. The free agent cornerback was less heralded than both E.J. Gaines and T.J. Carrie, but ended up starting seven of eight games played — he did miss time due to a broken forearm, but proved to be a steal when on the field.

Now, we look ahead to 2019 and try to identify three players who joined the team in the offseason that could come in and steal a starting spot.
