The Cleveland Browns added a potentially incredible offensive weapon with the No. 67 overall pick in Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr.
Fannin was the most productive tight end in the FBS last season and set a single-season FBS tight end record with 117 receptions and 1,555 yards.
With Fannin's abilities, the Browns will most likely run more two tight end sets after coach Kevin Stefanski takes back playcalling duties.
USA Today/Bucs Wire listed Fannin as a possible surprise in 2025.
"The Cleveland Browns are returning to their roots as a team that often employs heavy 12- and 13-personnel formations. That means, despite rostering a Pro Bowl tight end in David Njoku, rookie third-rounder Harold Fannin Jr. will see the field a great deal as a rookie as the TE2 in those personnel groupings," Cory Kinnan with Browns Wire wrote. "Fannin Jr. is a sure-handed and explosive pass catcher who fits the mold as a similar H-back and move piece that Njoku played for the Browns before taking back the reins as the top dog in the room in 2022. Njoku occupied that TE2 role in 2020 and 2021 for the Browns with Austin Hooper still under contract.
"In 2021, Njoku managed 475 yards and four touchdowns on 36 catches. If Fannin Jr. hits that number as a rookie, the Browns will feel quite good about their third-round pick."
In more two tight end sets, there will be ample opportunity for Fannin to contribute in his rookie campaign.
