David Njoku and Mike Vrabel developing into dynamic duo with Browns

Cleveland Browns star tight end David Njoku didn’t play in the first preseason game against the Packers on Saturday. In fact, most of the Browns starters and key contributors didn’t play, as the team is likely focusing on the joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings next week.

During the game, Njoku was interviewed on the sideline and asked about consultant Mike Vrabel and the work he has been doing with the budding star. The Chief said that Vrabel is a good guy and has been teaching him how to play smart football.

He also said Vrabel shows his old highlights, something he is proud of, and he does it to show them what greatness looks like. It’s been said a bunch of times already, but the experience and knowledge Vrabel brings to the table could turn out to be invaluable to the team.
