Browns tight ends coach Drew Petzing tagged along with Kevin Stefanski in moving from the Minnesota Vikings staff to Cleveland. A former intern with the Browns before he moved up the ranks in six years in Minnesota, Petzing is happy to be back in Cleveland. He’s also happy about having talents like Austin Hooper and David Njoku to work with in his new gig.
Petzing is already excited about the quick chemistry between Hooper and quarterback Baker Mayfield. The duo has been lighting it up throughout the first week of training camp.
“They developed a great friendship throughout the process and it definitely shows up on the field,” Petzing told Nathan Zegura of Browns Live. “I think they got a great feel for what the other is thinking and what the other is going to do and it allows us to be that much more dynamic on offense.”
Petzing also touched on Njoku and his work thus far.
“He’s been great,” said of the star-crossed Njoku. “From the moment we started working together virtually in the offseason and even through the summer, our conversations have been really positive. He came here in great shape and he’s been working his tail off in terms of learning the system.”
Petzing added,
“We’re definitely going to rely on everyone we have in that room and we expect big things from them.”
