Cleveland Browns 53-man roster prediction without Deshaun Watson

Cleveland Browns Specialists (3):

Cade York
Corey Bojorquez
Charley Hughlett

The specialists look much different in 2021 for the Browns. After Chase McLaughlin replaced Cody Parkey last year, Cleveland decided they wanted to fix the position for good. In search of their next long-term answer at the spot, they used a fourth-round pick on Cade York out of LSU.

It was seen by many as a reach to grab him that early but so far, the returns have been promising. York is knocking the ball through the uprights with ease in offseason workouts — including hitting them from 50-yards with plenty of room to spare (while kicking in the stadium).

York won’t be the only new kicker in Cleveland since they also added punter Corey Bojorquez in free agency. Bojorquez is known for having one of the strongest legs in the game, averaging 45.4 yards per punt in his career. He also was good for 50.8 yards per punt in 2020 for Buffalo.

He joins the Browns after three seasons in Buffalo and one in Green Bay, meaning he won’t be bothered by the cold weather whatsoever.

The last specialist is Charley Hughlett, who is one of the longest-tenured members on the team. Hughlett has a thankless job as the long-snapper, a position that only gets noticed if they mess up. Having said that, he hasn’t been “noticed” at all in his career.

Special teams are a very important unit that goes well beyond the specialists, but these three might be the best combination they have had at kicker, punter, and holder in recent memory.
