The 2021 NFL season is right around the corner, and given the last 18+ months, the word excited would be an understatement when talking with passionate fans.
The Cleveland Browns in particular are a team many analysts are talking about, and for good reason. The Browns had a nice season last year and are looking to continue that positive momentum into 2021, and beyond.
CBS’s Cody Benjamin recently ranked his top 10 bounce-back candidates for the 2021 NFL season.
A familiar face for LSU fans has topped the list.
Is there a more simultaneously overrated and underrated wideout in the NFL? His critics say the Giants were right to deal him, that Baker Mayfield plays better without him, that he’s never fully invested, that he’s nowhere near as scary as his talent and early career suggests. What they miss is the fact he’s topped 1,000 yards every time he’s played at least 12 games (five times!), the fact he’s eclipsed 13.5 yards per catch in all but one season, and the possibility that he’ll go off in what could be his first full season under the Kevin Stefanski regime. Jarvis Landry may be Mayfield’s favorite, and the Browns’ offense starts on the ground, but if he can stay on the field, there’s no reason to think yet another 1,000-yard campaign won’t happen as Cleveland solidifies itself as a contender.

Will Beckham truly regain his form and build a solid connection with quarterback Baker Mayfield?
That’s the question we’re all waiting on an answer on, but if Beckham is the receiver we all know him to be – the Browns offense could be pretty dangerous.
