3 most overrated Cleveland Browns on the 2022 roster
By Greg Newland
As the Cleveland Browns head into 2022 there are a lot of familiar faces. However, these three players remain extremely overrated.
The Cleveland Browns are exactly two months away from starting their 2022 campaign after one of the most frustrating seasons in the last two decades. For the first time in forever, the coaching staff and front office remain the same, but there will be some big changes at quarterback.
With Baker Mayfield out and Deshaun Watson in, only time will tell if the monster trade including six picks (three first-rounders) was worth it. It remains to be seen if Watson will be available for the 2022 season, but speculation is his suspension will only be for a portion of the year.
Andrew Berry has done a great job building this roster, but there are still some pieces that are extremely overvalued. Keep reading to see the three most overrated Browns on the 2022 roster.
Most overrated Cleveland Browns in 2022
No. 3 – Harrison Bryant
It was just two years ago that David Njoku was listed as the third tight end on opening day. The big free-agent signing was Austin Hooper, and the rookie Harrison Bryant shined at camp. This was a complete jaw-dropper to most fans, and I still don’t understand how it happened.
Since then, Hooper has been cut, Njoku has signed a massive four-year extension, and Bryant has really struggled at times catching the football and holding run blocks. In a three tight end heavy offense, I have been less than impressed with the production.
At 6-foot-5, Bryant has the height, but he is only 230 pounds soaking wet. He doesn’t have the athleticism to consider a switch to wideout, but he really needs to bulk up to hold his own on the interior of an NFL offensive line.
I expect him to get a lot of snaps in 2022, but after all the hype for two great off-seasons, he has racked up just over 470 yards receiving in two full seasons. This could be his make-or-break year if he’s going to last in the league.
