3 offensive players who shined in Week 4

2. Jedrick Wills Jr.
It’s starting to look like Jedrick Wills Jr. is putting it all together in his third season in the NFL. After struggling with injuries and mistakes through his first two seasons, Wills was consistently under scrutiny from the Browns fanbase.
However, through the first three weeks of the season, he. had the second-highest pass rush win rate amongst tackles in the NFL. He continued his strong start to the season in Week 4, in which he received the third highest PFF grade on the team, only behind Denzel Ward and Jack Conklin.
Wills Jr. was a crucial component of the Browns’ rushing attack on Sunday, and he showed it on this 28-yard rushing touchdown by Nick Chubb in the fourth quarter:

Wills looks to continue his strong play as Cleveland enters their most difficult stretch of the season. The Browns will look to take advantage of the Chargers’ and Patriots’ struggles with the run this year, as both teams have allowed more than 5 yards per carry on the season.
If they want to do that, then Wills is going to have to replicate his performance from this Sunday in the weeks to come.
