The Cleveland Browns have gone through their history seeking a true #1 receiver. The acquisition of Odell Beckham was supposed to do just that but the experience flamed out by the middle of 2021. Before that, Andre Rison, Dwayne Bowe and others were brought in through free agency with high hopes.
The Browns even failed to fill the role in the draft with a variety of players including first-rounders Braylon Edwards and Corey Coleman. Josh Gordon burst on the scene before failing to capitalize on his immense talent.
