J.J. Watt seriously considering joining

While Drew Hutchison Jersey his offensive background helped the Browns' offense take considerable steps forward, his leadership has been praised by some of the Browns' team leaders. "People don't follow fake leaders," Mayfield said during the 2020 season, . "When you have a group of men that are doing this and everybody's counting on you, you can sniff somebody that's fake out extremely quickly. That's not the case here."Will all of this be enough to lure Watt to Cleveland? The , after all, currently employ his two younger brothers: outside linebacker T.J. Watt and fullback . The would give him the opportunity to play for a contender that also happens to play in his home state. In Tenne see, Watt would be reunited with his former defensive coordinator, Mike Vrabel, who in 2019 led the to within one game of the .Watt will have his options but, based on what the Browns have to offer, it's clear that Cleveland should be mentioned among the frontrunners John Kruk Jersey to land the veteran pa s rusher.
