The Cleveland Browns did not have the season they wanted to in 2021. A myriad of factors played a role starting with QB Baker Mayfield’s health, the Odell Beckham Jr. situation, special teams struggles and COVID limitations. None are excuses but they do help explain the team’s drop from the playoffs in 2021.
One of the more exciting things going into the season was the breakout training camp that WR Donovan Peoples-Jones had. With Beckham returning from injury, Jarvis Landry healthy and the addition of Anthony Schwartz and his speed, the development of Peoples-Jones was thought to be the missing piece to a great receiving group.
Instead, the receiver room is likely the main focus, along with the defensive line, this offseason and the former Michigan receiver only had 34 receptions for 597 yards and three touchdowns.
