The Cleveland Browns season may already be gone, but statistically, there’s still time. These four players’ lack of production has been a major issue and has to change if they want to rebound.

The Cleveland Browns are currently walking a very slippery slope, and they are now one step away from falling face-first down the mountain. Sunday’s loss in New England was one of the most embarrassing losses that I can remember since the team came back in 1999.

Baker Mayfield and the offense looked absolutely dreadful, the defense gave up three touchdown drives that were 90-plus yards, and to top it off, players are now calling out coaches in the media. I can’t think of one scenario in time when that worked out for a team.

The sad part?

The Cleveland Browns still control their own destiny. They’re 5-5 overall, 1-1 in the division, and only one game out from the Baltimore Ravens. But after a performance like I saw on Sunday, I’m not sure if the Browns can win more than two more games on their schedule.

Kevin Stefanski has a big week of getting this train back on track with a banged-up Mayfield and the teeth of the schedule still to come. While there are a hundred things keeping the Cleveland Browns from being successful, these four players having next to no production in 2021 is not helping either.

Cleveland Browns player with no production No. 4: Jedrick Wills

I’m going to catch some heat on this one, but I’m not sold that Jedrick Wills is the long-term left tackle for the Browns. At times he has been good, but he still has struggled at times with speed rushers.

There are multiple things to remember here. One, Wills has fought through an injured ankle for most of the season. I think him at 75 percent health is better than James Hudson, but Wills has been a liability at times.

Two, Mayfield is good at moving around in the pocket and buying times, but that also causes him to create his own pressure at times. I remember Mayfield trying to escape the pocket to his left multiple times this season, and it made a great block by Wills turn into a sack.

I really do hate putting Wills on this list, but we can’t overlook the fact that he has been average at best this year.
