The Cleveland Browns haven’t finished above .500 in over decade but they enter the 2019 season as the favourites to win the AFC North and are listed at 14-1 odds to win the Super Bowl. The Browns have been one of the busier teams during the offseason, but it was the trade that landed them Odell Beckham Jr. that turned them into a quick favourite.
Aside from the new names on the roster the team will be led by a new head coach in Freddie Kitchens. On Tuesday, the 44-year-old was asked what he’s going to say to OBJ when he meets him for the first time and his answer was pretty hilarious.
If Kitchens’ answer is a sign of things to come in Cleveland, the Browns are going to have a lot of fun this year. It didn’t take the three-time Pro Bowler very long to come across his head coach’s message and he got quite the laugh out of it.
Kitchens is every single Browns fan since the moment they found out Beckham was coming to Cleveland and rightfully so. The 26-year-old has totaled 1,300 receiving yards or more in three of his five seasons and only failed to hit the 1,000-yard mark once; and it was due to an injury that cost him 12 games.
As for the Browns, they’ve only had a receiver hit the 1,000-yard 13 times in the franchise’s 70 years of existence.
