Cleveland Browns: NFL selects 3 players their 2020 All-Under-25 Team

NFL.com is high on the Cleveland Browns young players in Myles Garret and Nick Chubb.

The Cleveland Browns are well represented on NFL.com’s 2020 All-Under 25 Team. Marc Sessler picked three from Cleveland, tying them with the Baltimore Ravens, Indianapolis Colts, and the New Orlean Saints for the most on the team. No surprise, the Browns’ first two names were Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett.

Joining them though is former rugby player-turned-punter Jamie Gillan, the Scottish Hammer. The Browns have had two great punters since 1999, one being Chris Gardocki and the other being Dave Zastudil, Gillan hopes to be the third. While Garrett and Chubb seem obvious, Gillan was a former two-time All-South Western Athletic Conference punter. Sure, not the Big Ten but nothing to shake a stick at.

Chubb is clearly the team’s centerpiece as of right now, so it’s no surprise that he’s on the team.

"Flex: Nick ChubbI flip-flopped Chubb and Barkley more than once while piecing this together. Offering flickers of Jim Brown with his brute power and bounce-off-you rumblings, Chubb can do anything asked of him on the ground, outrushing Saquon over two seasons and topping both the Giants star and McCaffrey with his gaudy 5.1 yards per blast. Chubb’s 1,122 yards after contact trailed only Derrick Henry in 2019, per Pro Football Focus."

While Myles Garrett had his issues, he’s been a great defensive end, and sure can get to the quarterback.

"EDGE: Myles GarrettUnderstandably lost in Garrett’s inexcusable helmet smash of Steelers passer Mason Rudolph was the makings of a stellar campaign. Despite a resulting suspension that ended Garrett’s season after Week 11, the third-year edge man posted an NFL-high 25 percent pass-rush win rate, per PFF. The Browns watched their defense fall apart without him down the stretch, as thrilled offensive coordinators could suddenly forget about one of the game’s most ferocious balls of energy. Garrett has the ability to top 20 sacks in the right environment."

Gillan is a fan favorite, and it’s not even a shock why. The man punts a ball like Thor throws his hammer.

"Punter: James GillanSeattle’s Michael Dickson and Green Bay’s J.K. Scott deserve mention. “The Scottish Hammer” earns our bid, though, after nabbing Special Teams Player of the Month honors during his first September in the NFL before finishing the year with the game’s 10th-best average (46.2) and, per PFF, the third-lowest percentage of returnable kicks (31.7)."

Cleveland Browns should be able to rely on Nick Chubb and Myles Garrett in 2020.

Considering no one is playing better than Patrick Mahomes currently, the exclusion of Baker Mayfield is beyond justified. Even if you’re the biggest Mayfield fan ever, Mahomes is head and shoulders more deserving. Other players like Denzel Ward and Mack Wilson still have a lot to prove so they’re exclusion make sense.

Then there’s Jack Conklin, who should have been on the roster but is a year too old. That’s a shame, as I expect Conklin to have a huge year for the Browns. He showed what he’s capable of last year and it seems likely he’ll be a contender for a Pro Bowl spot.

The Browns have great young talent across the board and it’s going to be interesting to see how they live up to yet another year of hype.
