The Browns’ offense might have been the most devoid of playmakers of any team in the league last year. They changed that this offseason by adding one of the draft’s most dynamic playmakers, Trent Richardson, and upgrading their starting quarterback from Colt McCoy to Brandon Weeden. If you ask the Cleveland Plain Dealer’s Mary Kay Cabot, the Browns also have one more dynamic playmaker on their offense.
Cabot says she believes that Greg Little is capable of a Pro Bowl year if Brandon Weeden plays well. Little had 61 catches for 709 yards and 2 touchdowns last season as a rookie 2nd round pick. He also led the league in drops and had a very low yards per target ratio of 6.3. However, he was very raw as a 2nd round pick rookie. He has all the physical tools, but fell to the 2nd round because he missed his final season at North Carolina with a suspension and because he never had elite production.
The Browns knew he was a project when they drafted him. They just didn’t have another other choice but to target him frequently last year. With a better quarterback and another year of experience, those numbers could definitely see a noticeable increase this season, especially since Brandon Weeden doesn’t have much else in terms of receiving options. There’s definitely some fantasy sleeper value with him and while Cabot does sound like a bit of a homer saying he could make the Pro Bowl, she’s not wrong in projecting a breakout season for him.
