State of the offensive backfield - Can everyone be happy?

The 2019 version of the Cleveland Browns will have one distinct quality: the backfield will be absolutely one of the NFL’s best and deepest squads.

Which harkens back to other Browns periods when the club had Bo Scott coupled with Leroy Kelly (1972); or Mike/Greg Pruitt with Charles White in 1980; Earnest Byner, Kevin Mack plus Curtis Dickey (1986); 1994’s Eric Metcalf, Tommy Vardell and Leroy Hoard; or way back in 1950 with Marion Motley, Dub Jones and Ken Carpenter.

Of course, those were in an era when most teams ran the ball almost exclusively, and the Browns did just that.
