Kevin Stefanski: ‘Felt like a good fit’ to sign Kareem Hunt

The Cleveland Browns made the understandable decision in the offseason to move on from running back Kareem Hunt.

The veteran had spent the previous four seasons with the Browns but saw his production fall off last season as he posted career lows in both yards per carry (3.8) and yards per reception (6.0), while also scoring just four combined rushing/receiving touchdowns after averaging almost nine a season in his first five years in the league.

But life comes at you fast in the NFL, and with the team placing running back Nick Chubb on the injured reserve list with a season-ending knee injury, the Browns found themselves in urgent need of another running back to pair with Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr.
