The Cleveland Browns drafted running back Duke Johnson in the third round of the 2015 draft. With that, many people figured he would be the team’s top back by now. Though Isaiah Crowell has grabbed the reins and overshadowed Johnson, you can still expect Johnson’s role to grow this year.
According to John Kuntz of Cleveland.com:
“He [Johnson] is the leading candidate to replace Andrew Hawkins as the No. 1 slot receiver. Johnson has caught passes out of the backfield and while split wide. He’s averaged 57 catches in his first two seasons, and will probably have at least that many this season.
