For Cleveland Browns third-year tight end David Njoku, the 2019 season was supposed to be a breakout season. The athletic tight end seemed to be more comfortable as a receiving tight end during his second season and was expected to build on that in 2019.
However, Njoku’s season was derailed after suffering a concussion and broken wrist early in Cleveland’s Week 2 game against the New York Jets. After leaping for a catch, Njoku was upended and landed upside-down, while also landing awkwardly on his wrist.
In Njoku’s absence, the Browns have needed their tight end group to step up and fill Njoku’s role.
