Kareem Hunt

The Browns' backfield is the most talented in the NFL, and it's easy to forget that Hunt is not just a second fiddle behind Nick Chubb. Hunt got double-digit carries in 12 consecutive games to begin last season, and he might've pushed for 1,000 rushing yards if his volume hadn't dwindled down the stretch as Baker Mayfield began to air it out. Hunt's best asset is his elusiveness, and he's extremely difficult for a tackler to square up or get a clean hit against, but he can also grind out tough yards when necessary. He's also a plus receiver, and has handled most of the third-down work since first suiting up for the Browns in November 2019. Last season, Coach Kevin Stefanski gave both his backs plenty of work in the early going, but Hunt dipped to 8.2 carries per game in December while Mayfield and Chubb carried the offense. Hunt did rebound for three TDs in two playoff games, and between the regular season and playoffs, he averaged a healthy 10.5 carries and 3.0 targets in the 13 games where both he and Chubb were available throughout. Chubb is still the top dog in the pound when it comes to the rushing attack, but Hunt should see enough volume to make an impact, especially if the red-zone split is as equal as it was last season.
