Cleveland Browns: Nick Chubb, Amari Cooper among projected 2022 season stat leaders
By John Suchan
2022 Cleveland Browns rushing Leader: Nick Chubb
The heart and soul of the Browns offense finished last season with 1,259 yards rushing and an impressive 5.5 yards per carry. He’s led the team in rushing over his four-year tenure with the team and he will show no signs of slowing down this season.
He will lead the team in yards as he attempts to move up on the team’s all-time rushing leader board. He currently sits at No. 6 but will likely pass both in 2022.
2022 Cleveland Browns Rushing Touchdowns Leader: Kareem Hunt
Last season Hunt was injured for most of the year but still managed to score five touchdowns on the ground in only eight games.
If he can stay healthy, he’ll challenge Nick Chubb for the touchdowns title this season.
2022 Cleveland Browns Receptions Leader: Amari Cooper
The Browns traded for Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys. He will be the new go-to No. 1 wide receiver for Cleveland. He had 68 receptions a year ago and 92 catches the year before that. I expect Deshaun Watson to look to Cooper a lot this next season and him to lead the team in receptions.
I also look for Donovan Peoples-Jones to increase his receptions total going into his third season as he had 34 catches last year. Also, don’t be surprised if rookie David Bell, out of Purdue has a healthy start to his season. He was a catching machine in college. He grabbed 93 passes last season and had 232 catches in only three seasons.
