Meet the Lamar Jackson for our scout team
He's got to make the team first. Having a 4th QB taking up a roster spot just to run the scout team? Extreme long shot to make the final roster.
As a WR- can he be any better than the guys we already have in house? I doubt it, but Dorsey must see something or he wouldn't be bringing him in for a look-see.

I hadn't thought of that and it is a good way to prepare for him but is he good enough to keep as one of the 6 best wide receivers to warrant that role. I think it seals that damon sheehy Giuseppe will be a practice squad player or on some other teams 53 as Braxton is a better receiver and has almost as much potential in the return game. I put more emphasis on receiving abilities because kick/punt returns are becoming more and more obsolete with new kickoff rules and punters getting better and better at hang time and directional punting.

actually, that is an excellent point.

Also could fill a void that perhaps the coaching staff envision for Duke prior to his disgruntled trade. Like I said, (up until this signing) we don't have anyone in the RB room that presents a receiving matchup problem like DJ did.
You now have that player in Braxton. Long shot he makes the roster, but at least it IS* a shot.

well bang on my Buckeyes
..welcome home Braxton..put the offensive minds of freddie & monkins together..strap on your parachutes fellas..am throwing another opinion dart here. We have no depth at slot WR after Landry? Sheehy,Baker & Montgomery had some bad drops coming out of XY or Z including slot at Colts for all 3 days..With Callaway also gone 4 games..a vet like, Braxton can push the final 2 WR slots hard, by chasing Ratley & the above^^ rookies wanting it..I got ObJ/Landry/Willies/Higgins/Strong as in..the only back-up slot receiver left on the roster might be Hyman..and i have not seen squat of Hyman since PS1.. Dorsey nor freddie seem to be 'not in the business' of handing out any roster positions yet..love it..

Well....a Buckeye player will beat out a Texas A&M player every time. Let's see what reaction that gets. ?

some love stirring pots here
honestly i thought AG gave us a good opinion on Ratley after drafting him out of A&M..1.He's not got track speed that runs great routes. 2.His hands are questionable.. sound like Ratley to me, the short time we've seen him

Maybe he can return kicks or play ST

Message to Callaway?
Message to Callaway?
To the entire WR corps but OBJ/Landry/Higgins. But yes, he may also be used on STs I would imagine.

Miller’s a pretty straight shooter and seems to
be a coachable type of player.
Can he kick too? WR/ KR or Callaway’s roachclip

Hopefully we'll get to see a lot of Braxton usage Friday. See what the plan is
-
If ( by some small miracle) he makes the final cut, I wouldn't rule out him being rostered as a RB.

I was curious to see what he has done in his couple of years in the league...so here are his stats:

And a minor actor in the DATs passing game.
So...yeah, he has a lot to prove in these two preseason games and the practices if he is going to be a member of the Cleveland Browns.

I can see us keeping him as a possession wide out but then again who really knows. I am sure we will keep Higgins and Callaway we have not had a wr core like this ever. Maybe keep him until Callaway is off his 4 game suspension?
