The Cleveland Browns entered the 2021 season with the tight end room as one of their secret weapons.
At the forefront was two-time Pro Bowler Austin Hooper, signed for a King’s ransom in the free agency period the year before. Behind him was former first-round pick David Njoku who Browns fans saw glimpses of a brilliant plan.
Stephen Carlson was the steady blocking tight end. Harrison Bryant was the John Mackey Award winner for the best tight end in college football, and suddenly was here in Cleveland fighting for targets.
