Browns TE David Njoku gets hands on coaching from Mike Vrabel

The Cleveland Browns have only been in training camp for one week, but there have already been two Mike Vrabel viral clips. First, it was his daily races with backup quarterback Jameis Winston, and now, it is a clip of him hand-fighting with Pro Bowl tight end David Njoku.

Over the past three years, Njoku has developed into one of the most well-rounded tight ends in the NFL. This culminated in his first Pro Bowl appearance a year ago. For a player who struggled to block when he first came into the league, it has now become a calling card for Njoku.

However, there is always room to get better.

In the clip below, you can see Njoku working on his strike, leverage, and hand placement with the former Super Bowl-winning linebacker. Getting one-on-one attention from a coach and former player like Vrabel is such a valuable experience for a blossoming player like Njoku.

Vrabel’s tenure with the Browns will likely be short-lived as he gets his buyout from the Titans and will likely get courted for jobs next year. However, what an invaluable asset he will be to Stefanski and his team during a crucial 2024 season.

With one week of training camp down, the Browns will continue to look to get after it. Vrabel included.
