5 bold predictions for Cleveland Browns 2020 NFL Draft class

4. Harrison Bryant surpasses Njoku by midseason

There’s been a lot made of new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s offense utilizing two tight ends often. In Minnesota, he did this with Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith, Jr. and in Cleveland, they added Austin Hooper to go along with David Njoku — a former first-round pick in 2017.

With Hooper and Njoku already being on the roster, some eyebrows were raised when the Browns took Harrison Bryant in the fourth round. It was said that he could be serving an H-back role and won’t have much effect on Njoku. But that might not be entirely true.

Stefanski didn’t utilize the H-back role as much as he did a traditional fullback in Minnesota, as he used C.J. Ham often in their offense. In Cleveland, he has Andy Janovich, who was added in a trade. One of the better fullbacks in the league, Janovich will fill the role Stefabnski looks for nicely.

As for Bryant, he should still find time on the field and by midseason, expect him to push Njoku for snaps. While Njoku is a better receiver, Bryant is a more willing blocker and will certainly surpass Njoku in this area with a little coaching.

There are those who think he’s too small for this role full-time, but similar sentiments were shared about Irv Smith, Jr. and Stefanski had no problem using him often in 2019.
