The Cleveland Browns did not have the season they wanted to in 2021. A myriad of factors played a role starting with QB Baker Mayfield’s health, the Odell Beckham Jr. situation, special teams struggles and COVID limitations. None are excuses but they do help explain the team’s drop from the playoffs in 2021. - One of the more exciting things going into the season was the breakout training camp that WR Donovan Peoples-Jones had. With Beckham returning from injury, Jarvis Landry healthy and the addition of Anthony Schwartz and his speed, the development of Peoples-Jones was thought to be the missing piece to a great receiving group. - Instead, the receiver room is likely the main focus, along with the defensive line, this offseason and the former Michigan receiver only had 34 receptions for 597 yards and three touchdowns. - Peoples-Jones took to Twitter earlier this offseason to share his love for the city of Cleveland and hopes for the future: - - I want to say thank you to my teammates, coaches, and the fans for truly making this year special. We learned a lot from this season and will use that knowledge to grow. I love it here in Cleveland, and the best is yet to come. #DawgPound pic.twitter.com/Dzj9TLSvQa - — Donovan Peoples-Jones (@dpeoplesjones) January 13, 2022 - - - The positivity from the Browns former sixth-round pick is refreshing after a difficult season. His confidence for the future is even better to see. With a healthy Mayfield and more talent added around him, Peoples-Jones could see his number skyrocket in 2022 if his developmental path continues in year three. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Browns Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Browns Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
