Cleveland Browns: Does Duke Johnson make sense as full-time receiver?

A third-round pick of the Cleveland Browns out of Miami in 2015, Duke Johnson has developed into quite the weapon. He’s a competent change of pace back who averages 4.2 yards per rush but is even more dangerous catching the ball.

Running routes out of the backfield and in the slot has led to Johnson becoming one of the most targeted players on the team. He led the team in both receptions and yards in 2017 when he brought in 74 passes for 693 yards.

Now with the team bringing in Carlos Hyde via free agency and Nick Chubb in the draft, there’s been some question about how the team will get Johnson involved.
