There’s already one major difference Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell has noticed about himself at the start of training for his second NFL season: He’s more relaxed.
After spending the offseason in the Bahamas, Miami and addressing kids in Georgia about how valuable second chances can be, Crowell, with his 225-pound chiseled frame, has arrived back in Berea with assurance he can build off his rookie campaign.
By any measure, the undrafted Crowell tore down the expectations placed upon him as the third-string running back to begin the season. His eight touchdowns were one shy of what Hall of Famer Jim Brown posted in his rookie season with the Browns back in 1957.
