The Cleveland Browns are looking forward to taking home their fourth victory in five weeks as they host the New Orleans Saints on Christmas Eve. One of the pressing pieces of conversation in yesterday’s media availability revolved around the return of a former Browns wide receiver in Jarvis Landry as well.
Speaking to the media yesterday, all of head coach Kevin Stefanski, cornerback Denzel Ward, and tight end David Njoku were asked about their former teammate in Landry. Here is what they all said. All of these quotes have been pulled directly from the public transcripts provided by the Browns.
HC Kevin Stefanski
“Just over the years talking about Jarvis, just what he brought into the building, into the locker room and gameday, I just always marveled at him pushing through injuries. Sometimes wasn’t near 100 percent but fought through it, played, took a hit, got back up and just a very, very tough, physical football player.”
CB Denzel Ward
“He had a huge impact. I feel he was one of those guys who helped kind of turn this organization around and brought a lot of wins to this organization. He is a leader on and off the field and made plays. Wish he was still here, but he is a great player, a great person and is a good guy.”
“You couldn’t take any days off with him. You had to lock in. He gave you those game reps that you looked for going against a guy like that to get you ready for the game.”
TE David Njoku
“My guy for sure. I think he had a huge impact. I think he was one of the main reasons we got this thing turned around along with obviously a few other players. I have to give credit to him for the majority of it because he had the mentality and the mindset of winning and pushing through adversity. I feel like that rubbed on a bunch of players at the time when he was here with the other players that were here that aren’t here anymore. I think that rubbed off on everybody, and we were just focused on pushing our limits.”
