Ja’Marcus Bradley: What the Browns are getting in their UDFA WR

The Cleveland Browns are deep at wide receiver and they went out and signed two undrafted free agents to an already talented position. Both of those players are not going to make the team, but below we dive in to see if Ragin Cajun product Ja’Marcus Bradley is the chosen one if Cleveland does decide to keep a UDFA wideout.

Name: Ja’Marcus Bradley

Position: Wide Receiver

School: Louisiana

Height: 6-0

Weight: 198 pounds

Strengths: Another prospect that likely should have been drafted, Bradley was seen as a late-round target by most analysts. He had an extremely productive college career, statistically speaking, especially the last two seasons. Bradley had a very impressive East-West Shrine Bowl week and was expected to explode during his pro day before the pandemic hit. He still held a virtual workout and reportedly ran a blazing 4.4 forty yard dash.

Weaknesses: I think a big reason why Bradley didn’t hear his name called on draft night was due to him not meeting expectations this past season. Although there was no dip in production — Bradley actually hauled in 20 more receptions — he had a lower yards-per-reception average and the same amount of touchdowns. This is not just based on statistical expectations, either. He didn’t dominate the Sun Belt like many expected him to based off his 2018 film.

Overall: Bradley is talented enough to make an NFL roster as he is a good enough receiver to provide adequate depth when needed and could be a great special teams contributor. It is hard to predict whether or not Bradley can make the Cleveland roster, because they are so talented at the position, but it would not be surprising to see him hang around at least on the practice squad. He does appear to be the more talented of the undrafted receiver duo.
