Cleveland Browns mailbag: What to expect from young players
By Jacob Roach
With training camp for the Cleveland Browns right around the corner, it is time once again to answer readers’ questions about the 2022 season.
Just a little under a month from now the Cleveland Browns will begin their 2022 campaign as training camp opens.
But there are plenty of questions and topics to cover so let’s go into the mailbag and answer as many questions from fans as we can.
What are reasonable expectations for Grant Delpit in 2022? -@Browns_Bot on Twitter
I am really excited about Grant Delpit. When the Browns drafted him I was really happy because he has some really rare traits. He had tackling issues at LSU but his coverage ability and football IQ were evident from the get-go. A torn Achilles is one of the more difficult injuries to come back from, some are never the same.
You could see the rust being shaken off as the season went on he just clearly got better but still seemed to be missing a step. Most say the second year after the surgery is when you are really back to yourself, that said I expect Delpit to play at a pro bowl level. He has the speed, and athleticism, his tackling was better than in college last year, and he should be completely healthy.
Are we settled with the WRs we have or are we gonna try to upgrade the receiver corp? -Chuck Motz on Facebook
Training camp is just around the corner and I believe that the Browns are comfortable with what they have at WR. Obviously, if they have Deshaun Watson at quarterback he will elevate the wide receivers in the building, a suspension puts more pressure on the group to help Jacoby Brissett.
If Donovon Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz can take a step the room should be fine. But there will be a lot of pressure on rookie David Bell to perform right away. However, if they struggle out the gate a guy like Will Fuller who can stretch the field being added during the preseason would make sense.
