2017 NFL Draft: 5 Late Round Sleepers Cleveland Browns Should Target

Tarik Cohen, RB, North Carolina A&T, Projected Round: 7th

Fresh off of running a 4.2 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, Cohen is very intriguing.

His measurable aren’t impressive. He’s 5-6, 179 pounds. But his size didn’t keep him from tearing up the MEAC, finishing as the conference all-time leading rusher with 5,619 yards. OK, it’s the FCS level, but the kid still found the end zone 58 freaking times. He’s got what the advanced scouts call, “A nose for the end zone.”

The best part about Coleman. He knows he doesn’t have to be a featured back in order to change a game, via SB Nation’s Harry Lyles Jr.

"“My vision and the fact that I can make a play with the ball without getting like 20 carries a game,” Cohen said. “The suddenness to make an explosive play I feel like will transition well.”"

This is a guy they call fans of North Carolina A&T call  “Human Joystick.” With a name like that, you know he’s going to run, bend, dodge and create all kinds of tom foolery for opposing defenses.

So, why would the Browns consider Cohen with Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson on the roster?

Crowell can be a free agent after next season. The Browns just offered him a second-round tender of approximately $2 million for the 2017 season. He’s entering his fourth pro season. Perhaps he’ll do enough to warrant an extension.

Just remember though, there’s an influx of running back talent seemingly ever year. Every year, a guy with fresher legs is looking for a job. That’s especially true in this draft.

The Browns need playmakers, and Cohen, who is drawing comparisons to Darren Proles, fits the description.
