Browns Eye Roush for Blocking Boost

0:00Is March 22nd. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The Cleveland Browns are eyeing ways to boost their offense ahead of the 2026 season, no matter who starts at quarterback. With David and Joku now gone, they're linked to Stanford Titan Sam Roush as a smart replacement. This 6'5 senior could pair perfectly with Harold Fanon Jr. to give the team better balance up front. Roush put of solid numbers last season, hauling in 49 catches for 545 yards and two touchdowns. But his real strength lies in blocking, where he stands out as one of the best in his class, while still being an elite athlete. Fans and analysts see this as a great fit in Todd Monk and System, which often uses multiple tight ends like he did in Baltimore. Instead of chasing another pass-catching specialist, Roush would handle the dirty work and still contribute through the air. Prince of Bleski from Bleacher Report highlighted Roush as the ideal compliment to Fanon, who excels more as a receiver. The Browns might grab him early on day 3 of the draft to lock in a long-term duo.
