General manager Andrew Berry downplayed the possibility of the Cleveland Browns reuniting with running back Nick Chubb following the NFL draft.
“I wouldn’t rule anything out, but I would say that it’s probably increasingly unlikely,” Berry told 92.3 The Fan, per ESPN’s Daniel Oyefusi. “We do have two young guys that we liked. We think Jerome (Ford) plays a role. It’s basically kind of maybe seeing how the roles shake out in the running back room.”
Cleveland spent two of its seven picks in April’s draft on tailbacks, selecting Quinshon Judkins in the second round and Dylan Sampson in the fourth. Berry said he was in contact with Chubb’s representation leading up to the draft, but admitted there hasn’t been “strong communication” since.
