One bold prediction for the Cleveland Browns in 2021-22: Plan the parade

Fans of the Cleveland Browns have long removed their paper bags. No longer were they ashamed to say that they supported their team. In return, they were rewarded with a return to the playoffs for the first time since 2020.

But while some Browns fans are still reluctant to come outside, we’re here to tell you that 2021 is going to be your year. Arguably no team in the entire NFL has a better roster from top to bottom on both sides of the ball.

You need someone who isn’t going to take many risks with the ball but will accurately get it into the hands of receivers and running backs? Baker Mayfield is your guy. He completed 62.8% of his passes while throwing 26 touchdowns to only 8 interceptions. The receiving core of the Browns is top-notch, Jarvis Landry is impossibly underrated, Austin Hooper and Rashard Higgins continue to get more and more comfortable and Odell Beckham Jr. will be anxious to prove to the world that he’s still that guy. Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb are about as dominant of a running back tandem as you can get. Also, Myles Garrett might be the most intimidating defensive end in the game today.

Simply put, the Browns can either throw a parade on you, rush the ball down your throat or sit back and relax while Garrett single handily wins the game on his own.

Start beating your chest from now Browns fans, the 2021 Lombardi is coming home.
