The sentiment expressed by Paul Kruger last week wasn’t a new one, as the veteran linebacker raved about what’s been described as a new energy in Berea these days. Indeed, this has been a theme throughout the offseason as the Browns continue workouts under first-year coach Hue Jackson.
But Kruger — who’s seen his fair share of coaches both in Cleveland and Baltimore, where he won a Super Bowl in 2012-13 — offered considerable insight for why players are feeling recharged and refreshed under Jackson and a new coaching staff that includes the likes of defensive coordinator Ray Horton, senior offensive assistant/wide receivers coach Al Saunders and associate head coach Pep Hamilton.
