New Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz already has a connection with one of the players above him on the depth chart. Schwartz spent some of the pre-draft process working out in Miami with Browns wideout Jarvis Landry.
Schwartz and Landry both worked out with the same trainer, Mo Wells, at the House of Athlete complex in South Florida. It’s a popular training facility for many NFL players, including some other Browns.
Wells and Landry have worked together for several years, and they were joined pre-draft by Schwartz, a speedster from Auburn. The trainer saw the connection between the two and predicted the Browns would draft Schwartz and keep them together, according to cleveland.com.
“I actually did [call it],’’ Wells told cleveland.com. “Because certain teams draft a lot of my guys and he had already been here working out with Jarvis. “I said ‘it would kind of be crazy if you just end up going to the Browns and then you’re all actually teammates.’ And here we are a week after that with him headed to Cleveland.’’
The presence of Schwartz and his world-class speed should help open things up for Landry on underneath routes and across the middle of the field.
