The Cleveland Browns will not be moving Duke Johnson to wide receiver despite his desire and apparent ability to make the switch.
With Corey Coleman gone, and Johnson having played the slot receiver position some last season, it seemed like Cleveland might toss around the idea of changing Johnson’s position.
He even recently said he prefers the receiver position over running back.
“I would rather play wide out,” Johnson said following Coleman’s trade to Buffalo. “I think that I enjoy wide out and have more fun playing wide out than I do playing running back.”
But coach Hue Jackson shot down the position switch hoopla quickly, just hours after Johnson’s Monday morning pre-practice comments.
