Every year someone has a great camp. Maybe balls out in a few pre-season games.

Who will it be this year?

I have two that could flash and win "Top Camp."

Mike Hall Jr. and Nathaniel Watson.

Hall has that first step which is required if you are to be a good D lineman. You need that explosion off the line. By all accounts Hall has that.
He will display that in Camp and make some noise.

The second guy Nathaniel Watson was a tackling machine in college. He has average overall physical tools. But he is a sure tackler.
He plays the run well. He will most likely be a ST guy. However, in camp he will show up big making tackles in the middle.

How Jeudy and DW connect will be important to follow. We need Jeudy to be productive.

This article is by a young man on X. I’m kinda pulling for Woods as well.

I agree on both. Hall gets the hype at this point, but I think he was a great value pick and will be a player in the league.

Watson is my unsung guy. A later round pick, but if you can lead the SEC in tackles, you have more backbone rather than wishbone. I think he can be a standout.


If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

Sadly that'll be for KC 😂

I'm going to be very boring and pick a guy who should be a hot fav to be a Camp Star.... Jeudy. I loved him and his potential when he was drafted... If everything clicks like it cohld, man we'd have a first rate 1-2 wr option that we haven't seen for a long time.


The more things change the more they stay the same.

I will pick David Bell as this year's camp star. He had a really strong game the last week of the regular season when starters were getting rested. He will play like that during our presason games and then the Browns will trade him for a 6th or 7th round pick in next year's draft and most posters on this board's hair will be on fire because of that trade.

IMO Bell is on the bubble. He will need a really strong camp to make the team.

Locks - Cooper, Jeudy, Moore, Tillman.

Guys competing - Thrash, Proche, Woods, Darden, Bell.

Thrash was just drafted so he most likely makes the team plus he can return.

I'm going with Jaelon Darden. Has a big camp and suffers the same fate as other TC legends, Austin Watkins, Derrick Willies and Josh Lenz.

Alternate camp legend....James Thrash.

Not only do I think this guy will be a camp star, he’ll be a future starter, maybe even as early as this year.

Hoping to see Cedric Tillman take that next step.


At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

I really like him during the draft process.

Reports this whole off season from the coaching staff has been very positive about Tillman's improvement.

It would not be a surprise if he were to take reps from Moore.

Very good size. Thick, muscled-up frame.

— Very good stop/start explosiveness.

— Above-average speed. Not a true burner but enough to threaten vertically.

— Very good ball skills and ability to catch in traffic.

— Good YAC skills. Quality blend of size, burst and strength.

— Great blocker. Active, physical, and strong.

Players have to learn the NFL game especially when they come from running a limited route tree in college. that was the case with Tillman.

So, he will be a guy to watch in Camp.

This. He has all the attributes you look for in a WR. When venturing a guess I would have to consider Tillman as having the best chance to take that huge leap forward in year two.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

My guy is Aidan Roberts, big guy at 6’2” 237lb RB. Every year there is an UDFA RB that really has a good year, thats my pick for not only the Browns but the NFL as well.

You beat me to it. Although it's Aidan Robbins.

I was in a bit of a hurry when I went to post this last night. Couldn't remember his name and google sucks.

It was the thread itself that reminded me -- don't we always have a standout RB as camp star?


I didn't know anything about this dude when we signed him, but he is legit in the eye-test category.

There is no excuse for a person this size to have feet this quick. If Chubb can teach him the fine art of the stiff-arm, it's game over.


Check out 2:39, that's ridiculous for a person his size.

Hey, you might be on something there.

I was unaware of him. Big man with good feet.

Sure why not?

Was in a hurry, and didn’t type it right, or it was auto corrected for me.

Robbins looks intriguing, but I have to go with Ced.

The first thing that popped out to me in that highlight reel was how he ran really easy through the line and was able to go to work on DBs.
Chubb's biggest asset isn't his stiff-arm or his speed. It's his vision.

I think I saw a couple times in that cutup where he changed direction to hit a hole or took the cutback.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

My concern with Robbins is why he didn’t have more success in college. He had some success at unlv but it’s unlv. The bigger programs he seemed like an afterthought.

Tillman for me. I was excited when I read all those pundits and ex players saying Tillman was the real deal coming out but then next to nothing last year. Looking for that next step this year.

I would echo the Tillman thought ... he seems to have had a few big days (without Jeudy of course).

I also hope that Mike Hall can become a reliable rotation guy. We need him to be a starter after this season

If Hall is not in the slammer, he seemed to be a stable guy, but a fiancée with a kid AND A MOTHER close by could cause personal problems....I hope he hasn't ruined his career before it started.
