Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku broke out in 2023, finally reaching the level people thought he could with his rare size and athleticism. The question that seems to be floating around Njoku is his usage with Deshaun Watson this year. He took off production-wise after Watson’s season was over.
Njoku talked about his excitement for the new offense this year and how they plan to use him.
“Whatever they need me to do I’ll do. It’s more exciting times, they’re trying to get me the ball more so I’m happy. But whatever they need me to do: block, catch, run, dive, duck, dip—everything.”
Most of his damage was done after the catch last year, turning small gains into explosive plays. If Watson and Njoku can get on the same page this year, he could be in for his first 1,000-yard season. With the addition of Jerry Jeudy, they should get even more favorable matchups for Njoku.
