Is Demetric Felton going to be a WR and Special Teams this year, and no longer RB? – John R., Columbus
Felton has primarily played at wide receiver to begin training camp, and it’s possible that’s where he stays for the remainder of camp given the crowdedness of the running back room.
The RB group contains Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, D’Ernest Johnson and rookie fifth-rounder Jerome Ford at the top of the list. That’s a lot of running backs the Browns are trying provide with reps — and the position also includes John Kelly Jr. — so it makes sense for them to give the versatile Felton as many reps at receiver as he can get at his other position.
“He is a very versatile football player,” head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “There is an opportunity right now for him to get some receiver reps. We can bounce him back into that running back room at any point. Really, he is smart enough where he can do both within a given practice so when you do have injuries at either position, he is a bonus player who can go into either room, if you will.”
Felton compiled most of his production last year as a receiver with 18 catches for 181 yards and two touchdowns. He also recorded seven carries for 24 yards. His shiftiness and burst are arguably his two best tools and why he works well at both positions, and it’ll definitely be worth monitoring where the Browns allot his reps for the remainder of training camp.
Which is the bigger steal? Getting JOK in the 2nd of last year’s draft or getting Perrion Winfrey in the 4th this year? – Rick G., Akron, OH
It might be a little too soon to call Winfrey “a steal” considering his pro career just started, but he certainly has the potential to fall in that category, especially if he steps into a big role in the interior at any point in his rookie season.
For that reason, we’ll go with Owusu-Koramoah, who looked really good at points last year as a rookie and has breakout potential this season. The 2021 second-round pick who many believed would be a…
