Browns: 5 Cleveland players make CBS Top 100 Player list

Five players from the Cleveland Browns made the CBS Top 100 Player’s list.

The Cleveland Browns are represented on CBS’s Top 100 NFL Player’s list. The list is created by Pete Prisco and this is one of the better years for Cleveland’s representation on the list. This year there were five Browns players to make the list, while in 2020 there were only three (Odell Beckham Jr., Myles Garrett, and Nick Chubb) and in 2019, there were three as well (Beckham, Garrett, and Baker Mayfield). This year, Wyatt Teller and Joel Bitonio join Beckham, Chubb, and Garrett.

Below you can see the number the player came in at.

The list is clearly suspect, despite Mayfield having a great year in his own right and finishing as a top-10 quarterback, he was left off the list, but Beckham only played seven games and only had 313 yards was somehow an “elite” player?

Come on.

Jarvis Landry but no Baker Mayfield is perplexing.

You can’t argue that Baker Mayfield didn’t deserve to be on the list. Why not? He had a great year, he statistically was impressive, he was a top 10 quarterback, led the team to the playoffs for the first time since 2002, and was largely one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the NFL, at least when not dealing with Gale Force winds.

Odell Beckham on the other hand didn’t have any real pop or speed in most of the games he played and only had a season-high of 81 yards against Dallas. The problem isn’t just his 2020 season though. He hasn’t looked good in four seasons. Sure his last year in New York and his first year in Cleveland he barely hit 1,000 yards but that had less to do with his skills and more to do with how many times those teams threw him the ball.

124 times in New York, 133 in Cleveland. So of course he hit 1,000 yards. Yet, despite down seasons, and an inability to be healthy, Beckham is getting picked still over Mayfield?

That’s laughable.
