Cleveland Browns’ fullback Orson Charles boosts the running game

The Cleveland BrownsOrson Charles is virtually unknown, but he has actually been on the field more often than Duke Johnson. Who the heck is he? He is listed as the fourth-string tight end on the depth chart, but most of his snaps for the Browns have been from the fullback position, lining up behind the line of scrimmage in position to act as the lead blocker for the halfback, which is usually Carlos Hyde.

Charles was drafted in the fourth round by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012. He played with the Bengals for two years at the same time that Hue Jackson was on staff, so Jackson knows him well.
