While analysts have focused on what the Browns will do at the quarterback position, Cleveland has another pressing offensive void to address at running back.
Cleveland did not re-sign fan-favorite Nick Chubb after the season, suggesting the team is ready to move on from their former star running back.
Jerome Ford would become the team’s featured runner heading into the season, a role he’s filled over the past two seasons due to Chubb’s injuries.
Adding depth will be key for the Browns, and this year’s draft class is considered a deep one for the running back position.
Analyst Chad Reuter believes Cleveland will address their needs with an intriguing rookie prospect on the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Reuter revealed his thoughts during his latest mock draft, linking the Browns to former Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson with the team’s fourth-round pick.
Sampson was the featured back for Tennessee over the past two seasons, helping the Volunteers win 19 games over the past two seasons.
