Scrolling through the NFL’s transaction wire for Tuesday produced an eyebrow raise. The Cleveland Browns appeared almost at the bottom with a free agent visit.
Buried below the practice squad protection designations, the reserve list additions and the officially reported tryouts sat this little nugget:
Ryan Switzer was in Berea for a visit. A fourth-round pick out of North Carolina by the Dallas Cowboys in 2017, Switzer is best-known for his work with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2018-2019. He caught 44 passes in those two seasons as well as serving as Pittsburgh’s primary return specialist.
Switzer is a quicker-than-fast slot receiver who could fill in the JoJo Natson role as offensive weapon and return man. Natson was placed on I.R. with a knee injury this week.
