Jermaine Burton, a wide receiver hailing from Alabama, is poised to be chosen between the second and third rounds of the NFL Draft. Fortunately for the Browns, they might have two opportunities to acquire the 22-year-old receiver from Calabasas, California.
During the NFL Combine in Indianapolis, Burton had a formal interview with the Browns. Recounting the experience, Burton shared a humorous moment when he was asked about the Browns’ logo, which he identified as an elf, surprising the interviewers.
Standing at 6 feet tall and weighing 194 pounds, Burton would provide the Browns with elite speed and another dynamic playmaker to complement Cooper and Moore. Having started his collegiate career at Georgia before transferring to Alabama for his junior season, Burton has consistently improved his performance, surpassing previous season totals in receiving yards and touchdowns.
Troy Franklin, a highly talented 21-year-old wide receiver from Oregon, has been consistently productive during his time at Eugene, Oregon. Projected as a late first-round or early second-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, Franklin could be a target for the Browns if they decide to trade up.
Franklin, who had a formal interview with the Browns’ staff during the combine, recalled engaging in discussions with Stefanski. With impressive stats and accolades, including being named First-team All-Pac-12, Franklin is a player to watch closely in the draft.
Xavier Worthy, a versatile wide receiver from Texas, brings a unique skill set that could benefit the Browns in various ways. Known for his speed and agility, Worthy impressed NFL teams with his performance, including a memorable play against Oklahoma during his freshman year.
Worthy, who met formally with the Browns during the combine, is valued for his versatility, capable of playing multiple positions and contributing as a punt returner. With an outstanding junior season, Worthy showcased his ability to make impactful plays and stands out as a realistic target for the Browns in the draft alongside Burton and Franklin.
