As the Cleveland Browns prepare for the 2025 season, two young players quietly building momentum before season-ending injuries last year could be ready to make a major impact: edge rusher Alex Wright and wide receiver David Bell. Both 2022 draft picks, Wright (3rd round) and Bell (also 3rd round), are entering a pivotal fourth year. Wright is entering the final year of his rookie deal.
Having been released, Bell is not technically on his rookie deal but will be a free agent after the season.
The numbers from their last several full games played suggest a breakout may be brewing.
