Hall of Fame tight end and co-host of ESPN’s First Take Shannon Sharpe has made a huge prediction for the Cleveland Browns and the 2024 NFL playoffs.
The former Denver Bronco used his platform to explain why he thinks Cleveland has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL and how Deshaun Watson is the man to bring it all together:
“I just need Deshaun Watson to give me 85 to 90 percent of what he once was, and I like the Cleveland Browns.”

Sharpe earlier explains how, when healthy, Cleveland’s roster is one of the best in the NFL. The majority of last year’s defense has returned and is looking for an even bigger impact than they had last season. Sharpe’s argument about Watson’s quarterback play is also a common one.
After seeing how the Browns were able to beat the 49ers last year with multiple backups on offense, it makes you wonder how far the team could’ve gone if Watson was healthy. That is a question that Shannon Sharpe has on his mind as well.
The Browns will look to kick off that playoff run when they host the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday in their newly named home, Huntington Bank Field.
