Coleman got to know Gordon when Baylor was recruiting him, and they’ve kept in touch ever since.

Cleveland lost one of its best pass-catchers, Travis Benjamin, to free agency but drafted four wide receivers and could have Josh Gordon back on the field after four games. He was suspended for the first two games of 2013 for failed tests, missed the first 10 contests in 2014 and missed all of 2015.
Josh Gordon’s return to football has been sidetracked again. Me wanting to give in to that support and allow them to help me and me wanting to be helped, as I opposed to before me trying to be selfish and do things on my own. “I was definitely excited man”. I wanted to do things my way. Things turn around. People change. But eventually you get to that point. “I think there’s still a little time as we go through the start of training camp before that decision has to be made”.
Browns coach Hue Jackson said Thursday that he intends to name his starter for this season before the August 12 exhibition opener against Green Bay.
Sashi Brown, the team’s executive vice president, said the team was convinced Gordon should be back after a lengthy meeting with him when he returned on Tuesday. A quarterback needs a system that fits his strengths, a coach willing to implement said system and stick with it, and a supporting cast that can, well, support him.
“We understand that the league has expectations for him, and we do, too”, Jackson said. “We shared those with him, and I truly believe that he wants to make it right as well. The more fun you have, the easier it is to play freely and go out and make plays”. “The change is going to be within and we will support him through that”. We got word from the league and he showed up here less than 24 hours later.
Gordon will be out at least a couple of weeks with an injured quadriceps – he worked on the side with trainers, then studied the script of plays during team drills – but he was a popular topic of conversation nonetheless.
2016 will be Griffin’s fifth National Football League season, but only the fourth he’ll see any playing time.
Gordon could return in Week 5 against the New England Patriots. He had a very promising rookie season ending with 87 receptions for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns. Crowell deleted the post quickly but the damage was done. The Cavaliers finally snapped the cities title drought in June, and the Indians have run the AL Central and look like legit World Series contenders. “While Ogbah played defensive end at Oklahoma State, his unusual combination of size and speed makes him an outside backer in Cleveland’s defense”. That’s not who I am.

In an ideal world. and hopefully this is such a world for Browns fans, this is exactly what Cleveland will be looking to do with their analytics-based front office. “That’s not who I am”. I think that is kind of the way he’s built. “I really appreciate it”. The first practice is 3 p.m. July 29. “You’d be getting a great talent cheap and he would fit the outside spot”, Clayton told 97.5 The Fanatic on Tuesday. “That’s all I can really focus on”.
