This week, Mike Clay of ESPN ranked all 32 backfields in the NFL, making note that it is no longer about individuals, but committees, when considering the position across the league.
Despite having two new players at the position, Clay ranked the Cleveland Browns as the 8th-best running back unit in the NFL. Here is why he sees a change for the good in 2018:
Browns running backs ranked dead last in the league with 293 carries last season, but that’s a figure likely to rise after the team signed Hyde, drafted Chubb in the second round and signed Johnson to a three-year extension.
