3 Browns players receive more post season accolades

Three Cleveland Brown rookies receive high honors for the 2021 campaign.

There is always good in any season, even if it’s a disappointing one. That’s the best way to describe the 2021 Cleveland Browns season; disappointing. Injuries plagued the team, and they were unable to rebound or overcome the issues at hand. It was rough watching it all go wrong.

That doesn’t mean the Browns didn’t have a lot to be hopeful about, however. The team built arguably the best collection of cornerbacks, thanks in part to bounce-back years from Denzel Ward, and Greedy Williams, the addition of Troy Hill, and the drafting of Greg Newsome.

On top of that, the Browns may have gotten their best linebacking prospect since 1999 in Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Both players delivered in big ways in 2021 and if that’s all the draft is known for, then it’s a successful one.

Yet, they weren’t the only Browns to make an impact, apparently. While Owusu-Koramoah and Newsome are getting rave reviews, according to the PFWA rookie team, they aren’t the only ones. Demetric Felton, the team’s running back and wide receiver combo, joined his teammates for the year-end, 2021 PWFA rookie team.

The Cleveland Browns 2021 draft is looking good

Fans get made when you point out that most good drafts only have two or three players stick around after four years. It’s the truth, however. Most drafts don’t have more than two or three starters at best. That’s ok, anything more than that is gravy.

So if the Browns never see anyone else from the 2021 draft rise to the level of Owusu-Koramoah and Newsome, that’s fine. If Felton can add some stability as a special teams player on top of that, even better.

It’s unlikely Felton will be a great running back or receiver, however, as he has a tendency to struggle with the one thing he was drafted for; catching the ball. If he does somehow get better, then who knows, this may be an all-time great class just on those three names alone.
