The Cleveland Browns were a strong running team in 2021 and have been since head coach Kevin Stefanski took over the team. The Browns were a top ten in the number of times running the ball versus passing. With a great offensive line and a stable of running backs that any team would be jealous of, it made a lot of sense.
By the end of the season, Cleveland’s rushing attack was the fourth best in the NFL, less than a half a yard behind the Baltimore Ravens yards per game average for tops in the AFC North.
Having Nick Chubb signed to an extension and Kareem Hunt as his key backup, the Browns had depth and needed it. Both Chubb and Hunt missed some games which gave D’Ernest Johnson a chance to shine as well.
