The Cleveland Browns are hoping to find their franchise quarterback this offseason.
With options under center, Cleveland might be in its best shape yet to break out at the quarterback position.
But for that quarterback to succeed, he'll have to have someone to throw the ball to, and that centerpiece of the passing game could be Jerry Jeudy.
Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport reports Jeudy is that guy.
"Jeudy logged 145 targets and was 16th in PPR points playing with bad quarterbacks last year," Davenport wrote. "If the team can get even serviceable play from Pickett, Joe Flacco’s Corpse, Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, why exactly can’t Jeudy at least approach that level of production again? That’s rhetorical. He can."
Davenport seems very sure of himself, and for good reason.
While in Denver, Jeudy showed flashes, but never lived up to his true potential. He never eclipsed that magical 1,000-yard mark across four seasons after being the 15th overall selection by the Broncos in 2020.
He surely never sniffed a Pro Bowl nod, either. But with a trade to Cleveland, that all changed. At least for now.
In Jeudy's first season in Cleveland, he caught a career-high 90 passes for his highest production as a pro of 1,229 yards. He added four touchdowns.
Jeudy was named to the Pro Bowl in 2024 as a Cleveland Brown, too.
If he can develop a bit of chemistry with whoever will be under center for the Browns this season, he can make a name for himself in Cleveland.
