There are plenty of options to choose from.</p><p>Funny enough, there’s not even a bonafide No. 1 pick in this class. It has been a toss-up between Shedeur Sanders from Colorado and Cam Ward from Miami.</p><p>However, Jeudy has had <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39701826/denver-broncos-jerry-jeudy-traded-browns-means" rel="noopener">6 different quarterbacks</a> while with the Denver Broncos. He played with Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater, Russell Wilson, Brett Rypien, Jeff Driskel, and Jarrett Stidham.</p><p>For the Browns, he’s played with Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

Rookie, not a rookie, just a quarterback that knows how to go out there and make plays and give the play makers the ball consistently to win games, that’s all that matters.”</p><p>Originally, Watson was going to be that guy. Unfortunately though, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/browns-news-deshaun-watson-ruptures-achilles-second-time-3-months">Watson suffered another Achilles injury setback</a>. Furthermore, the Browns extended Myles Garrett to a lucrative contract.</p><p>The defensive and even offensive pieces are there. They simply need a quarterback.</p><p>As Jeudy mentioned, he wants someone who can win games. Cleveland has the talent to do so, but having an elite quarterback is a must.</p><p>Either way, the Browns might want to listen to one of their rising players.

Although he can talk shop about the Raptors and Ravens all day, what's really always on his mind is having finished his undergrad without having won a single fantasy or intramural league.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cleveland Browns</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Cleveland Browns entered the 2024 season with higher expectations than usual following their snagging of a playoff berth in 2023. While the season didn’t unfold as hoped, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-explains-jerry-jeudy-silent-week-16-bengals" rel="noopener">emergence of WR Jerry Jeudy</a> has been a clear success story. Head coach Kevin Stefanski believes Jeudy’s breakout campaign, capped by his first Pro Bowl selection, vindicates the Browns’ offseason decision to trade for the former first-round pick.</p><p>Jeudy, acquired from the Denver Broncos for 2024 fifth- and sixth-round picks, made an immediate impact in Cleveland. The 24-year-old receiver surpassed 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career and earned a starting spot in the Pro Bowl alongside AFC stars like Ja’Marr Chase. For Stefanski, Jeudy’s success this season validates the Browns’ investment.</p><p>“I’m excited for him to finish strong,” Stefanski <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-1-2-25/" rel="noopener">said when reflecting</a> on Jeudy’s Pro Bowl nod. “I think he’s proven to be the guy we thought he was when [GM] Andrew Berry went out and acquired him. He’s a very, very good separator, very intelligent, which I knew coming into this. That’s allowed us to move him around the formation. He’s made a lot of big plays for this football team in a variety of ways. I think Jerry’s a really versatile player.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-jerry-jeudy-trade-between-browns-broncos" rel="noopener">The trade for Jeudy</a> initially raised eyebrows around the league. Critics questioned whether the Browns had overpaid for a player who hadn’t lived up to his potential with the Broncos. However, the Browns quickly showed confidence in their new acquisition, signing him to a three-year, $52.5 million extension before the season began. Jeudy has rewarded that faith, becoming one of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s most reliable targets and an integral part of the offense.</p><p>Jeudy’s versatility has been key to his success in Cleveland. Whether lining up in the slot, as a deep threat, or making plays in the intermediate passing game, he has consistently created separation and made critical catches. His efforts helped the Browns remain competitive during a season filled with ups and downs.</p><p>When asked about the Pro Bowl honor, Jeudy credited his teammates and expressed optimism for the future. “We have all the players that we need to be able to be a good team,” Jeudy said. “It’s time to be a good team next year.”</p><p>Jeudy’s breakout year adds another cornerstone to Cleveland’s roster. Alongside Pro Bowlers Denzel Ward and Myles Garrett, Jeudy gives the Browns a core of elite talent to build around. His success also highlights Andrew Berry’s acumen in identifying and acquiring undervalued players.</p><p>With Jeudy under contract for the foreseeable future and Stefanski’s confidence in his abilities clear, the Browns hope this season’s bright spot will be a launching pad for bigger things in 2025. As the franchise looks to return to playoff contention, the emergence of Jerry Jeudy provides both justification for a bold move and hope for what’s to come.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Throwing Dorian Thompson-Robinson in at quarterback in place of Jameis Winston did not work, and it resulted in a quiet day for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-peter-schrager-pushes-back-against-jerry-jeudy-madden-trade-story">star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy</a>, which drew an interesting take from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-qb-plan-dolphins-ugly-loss-bengals">head coach Kevin Stefanski</a>.</p><p>Jeudy enjoyed a star turn with Winston under center, but he did not enjoy the same success with Thompson-Robinson throwing him passes, as he caught just two passes for 20 yards. When asked about Jeudy’s lack of involvement, Stefanski said Cleveland obviously made it a goal of theirs to get him the ball, but the Bengals defense <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/head-coach-kevin-stefanski-12-23-24/" rel="noopener">ultimately prevented them from doing so</a>.</p><p>“When you’re talking about any type of target, it’s our job as coaches to put together a game plan where your best players are obviously the primary, but then you have to go with what the defense does,” Stefanski said on Monday. “That’s the other piece of it, I think, when you’re coaching the quarterbacks, make sure they understand that the ball goes where the ball goes, dictated by coverage.”</p><p>“Obviously, there’s things that we do and will always continue to do to try to get our guys open. And certainly, it’s no secret that Jerry is a huge, huge part of our offense. So, it goes without saying that we want him to touch the ball more.”</p><h2><b>Kevin Stefanski, Browns will look to get Jerry Jeudy back on track in Week 17</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-2.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Jeudy had been on fire heading into this game, as he racked up 49 receptions for 786 yards and three touchdowns over his past seven games. His quick connection with Winston certainly helped, but he couldn’t get on the same page with Thompson-Robinson, who generally struggled when throwing the ball against Cincy. It also didn’t help that the Bengals gave Jeudy a lot of attention given his strong play as of late.</p><p>Stefanski could have designed plays, such as screens or designed handoffs, to get Jeudy the ball, but they ultimately did not do that against Cincinnati. Considering how poor the offense was in Week 16, Stefanski and company will have to go back to the drawing board ahead of Week 17, with the hope being they can get Jeudy more involved against the Miami Dolphins.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The specific story surrounded a rumor of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">Jets owner Woody Johnson nixing a trade</a> for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy because of his rating in the popular video game which garnered a response from Peter Scharger.</p><p>Schrager was on “The Bill Simmons Podcast” where he spoke about the team and pushed back on the specific story due to sources he spoke to. He would say that New York didn’t get Jeudy because the Cleveland Browns<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAdL2R-T_Ds&amp;t=2031s" rel="noopener"> had more to offer</a> than them which is why the receiver currently plays there.</p><p>“The Madden thing, I’m not going to discredit that things like the Madden ratings could come into play,” Schrager said. “I’ve spoken to sources, the Jerry Jeudy trade wasn’t happening because the Cleveland Browns offered something better and that’s why. It wasn’t because his Madden rating wasn’t what it was.”</p><p>Speaking more about rumors surrounding how <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-woody-johnson-teen-sons-accused-meddling-bashing-jets-players">Johnson’s teen sons are involved in decision-making</a>, Schrager would say how around the team they are.</p><h2><b>Woody Johnson’s sons “are around” the Jets </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Woody-Johnson-on-Dec.-8-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Jasen Vinlove-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>He would have some empathy for one of the owner’s sons, Brick, and how he hears how he’s a “good kid,” but gets “lambasted” in the reporting from The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.</p><p>“You go to these Jets games and you see the sons in pregame and they look cool, they’ve got the blazers on and they got the sunglasses on and they’re walking the sidelines,” Schrager said. “This is a freshman at Harvard and a kid in boarding school their dad and mom own the New York Jets and they have all access to do, like I don’t spite the kids and I don’t spite the owner, but what it is, it is true these kids are around and I feel bad for Brick the older one because everyone says he is a good kid and he’s getting lambasted in the article.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/jets-news-davante-adams-reunites-aaron-rodgers-trade-raiders">Jets would instead trade for Davante Adams</a> instead of Jeudy, but the latter is having the better season recording 70 catches for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, all but the scores being career-highs. Jeudy would even respond to the rumors about Madden ratings deciding his fate with the team, calling it <a href="https://x.com/DanielOyefusi/status/1869824407994290494" rel="noopener">“fake news,”</a> according to Daniel Oyefusi.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it,” Jeudy said. “I think that’s fake news… Why would somebody look at Madden rating.

On Thursday, though, he found his name mentioned in a bombshell report on the New York Jets, which claimed that they backed out of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-how-jerry-jeudys-madden-rating-nuked-trade-jets">trade for Jeudy</a> because owner Woody Johnson thought his rating in the popular “Madden” video game series was too low.</p><p>Amid what has been an absolutely miserable season for the Jets and their fans, it was another gut punch considering how good Jeudy has looked over the past couple of weeks. The star receiver himself <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jerry-jeudy-on-jets-madden-report-i-think-thats-fake-news" rel="noopener">isn’t buying the rumors</a>, though, as he thinks there’s no way any would actually turn down a trade because of a player’s “Madden” rating.</p><p>“To be honest, I don’t believe it. I think that’s fake news,” Jeudy said on 92.3 The Fan. “For real, why would somebody look at Madden ratings? Be real. I don’t think that’s real, but it is funny. I’m glad that I’m here. I’m glad my Madden rating was low. Yeah, got me here.”</p><h2><b>Jerry Jeudy happy to be with Browns amid Jets rumors</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy-1.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>There’s no doubt the suggestion that the Jets turned down a trade for Jeudy because of his “Madden” rating is absurd, but if there’s one team who could believably be foolish enough to do that, it’s the Jets. And while Jeudy doesn’t seem to believe that actually happened, he probably doesn’t care too much because of the success that he’s enjoyed with the Browns.</p><p>Through 14 games, Jeudy has amassed 70 receptions for 1,052 yards and four touchdowns, and he’s shown no signs of slowing down, even with the Browns having nothing left to play for. It’s fair to wonder how things would have gone for him if he landed in New York, but instead, he will be looking to keep his hot streak going when he takes the field in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jeudy has certainly proven a lot of folks wrong this season, and chances are his “Madden” rating is high enough now that New York would gladly trade him.</p><p>While it’s fair to wonder how the Jets offense would look with the addition of Jeudy, it’s worth noting that his breakout season likely never would have come to fruition had he landed in New York, as he’d be playing behind Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams currently. It’s safe to say that things have worked out quite well for Jeudy considering how well he’s played this season, and he will look to continue to prove the Jets wrong when he takes the field in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Browns’ Jerry Jeudy jabs Chad Ochocinco for Madden rating allegedly nixing Jets trade

In fact, it turns out they could have had another talented player helping them out on offense in <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-celebrates-jerry-jeudy-for-monster-game-back-in-denver">Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy</a>, but they backed out of a trade for him over the offseason for an absolutely mind-boggling reason.</p><p>The Denver Broncos traded Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns back in March in exchange for a fifth-round and sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, prior to that, the Jets were reportedly close to trading for Jeudy instead of the Browns. The deal ended up getting nixed, though, because New York owner Woody Johnson felt Jeudy’s rating in the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6005172/2024/12/19/woody-johnson-jets-madden-sons/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">popular “Madden” video game series was too low</a>.</p><p>“Douglas and his Broncos counterpart, George Paton, were deep in negotiations for a trade that would have sent Jeudy to the Jets and given future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers another potential playmaker. The Broncos felt a deal was near. Then, abruptly, it all fell apart. In Denver’s executive offices, they couldn’t believe the reason why. Douglas told the Broncos that Johnson didn’t want to make the trade because the owner felt Jeudy’s player rating in “Madden NFL,” the popular video game, wasn’t high enough, according to multiple league sources,” Zack Rosenblatt, Dianna Russini, and Michael Silver of The Athletic reported.</p><h2><b>Jets surely wished they would have traded for Jerry Jeudy</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Browns-wide-receiver-Jerry-Jeudy.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Yes, you read that correctly. Johnson turned down a trade for Jeudy because he believed his rating in “Madden 24” was too low. Not only could New York have used another weapon on offense, but Jeudy has gone on to have a breakout campaign with the Browns. Through 14 games, Jeudy has racked up 70 receptions for 1,052 yards (both career highs) and four touchdowns.</p><p>While New York has Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams at their disposal, which should be more than enough for their offense to be successful, they could have had another stud that would have been arguably the best wide receiver trio in the league. Instead, the Jets are left wondering what could have been as they crawl towards the conclusion of the 2024 campaign.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The fifth-year wideout had nine catches for 235 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ 41-32 loss in the Mile High City. During the game, Jeudy, who requested a trade away from Denver, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42749582/jerry-jeudy-career-night-denver-return-browns-lose-broncos" rel="noopener">heard plenty of boos</a> from the home crowd.</p><p>“There were a lot of boos, huh? What that mean? A lot of catches, too,” Jeudy said, per ESPN, when asked about the jeers from his former fans. “They only boo you when they know there’s something great in you.”</p><p>Despite the boos and all the impressive catches, Jeudy also says that he’d trade it all for the win.</p><p>“Hell yeah, I would,” Jeudy said. “They can have that. I need that W. That was one step closer to get to the playoffs. We need that.”</p><p>Jerry Jeudy was the No. 15 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft and has yet to live up to his lofty potential. However, since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-endorses-jameis-winston-week-8-win">Jameis Winston took over as Browns QB in Week 8</a>, Jeudy’s 614 yards lead the league in that timeframe.</p><h2><b>Can Browns’ Jerry Jeudy finally break out? </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jerry-Jeudy_5d9c46.jpg"><figcaption>Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Coming into the strange 2020 NFL Draft, Jerry Jeudy was supposed to be the next great Alabama wide receiver in the pros, following in the footsteps of players like Amari Cooper and Julio Jones. However, after being the second WR off the board — seven picks ahead of Justin Jefferson — Jeudy has failed to make a major mark.</p><p>In fairness, Jeudy played with the likes of Drew Lock, Jeff Driskel, Brett Rypien, Teddy Bridgewater, and Jarrett Stidham in Denver and the ghost of Deshaun Watson in Cleveland before hooking up with the wildly talented (yet wildly erratic) Jameis Winston this season.</p><p>Now that he finally has a QB, Jeudy is finally starting to show what made him a top pick. From here, his development all depends on what the Browns do moving forward both this season (likely Winston) and beyond.</p><p>If Cleveland can find a long-term answer under center — which both Winston and Watson are not — then they may have a top-15 pass-catcher in the NFL. That said, if they go back to QB purgatory like they and the Broncos have been in for the last several years, Jeudy may also turn back into an NFL pumpkin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jeudy played for the Crimson Tide from 2017-2019, winning a national championship in 2017. Surtain was there from 2018-2020, winning a national championship in 2020.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-jerry-jeudy-nfl-history-revenge-game-broncos">The Broncos selected Jeudy</a> with the 15th pick in the first round in the 2020 NFL Draft, and followed that up by selecting Surtain with the ninth pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Surtain is one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL now, and has been rewarded with a contract that reflects that, while Jeudy never quite performed up to expectations with the Broncos, and he ended up being traded to the Browns this offseason.</p><h2><b>Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II responds to Jerry Jeudy’s comments</b></h2><p>Jeudy was certainly motivated against his former team, as he caught nine balls for 235 yards and one touchdown. He was seen egging on the booing fans as well, and made some comments before the game saying, “I just want to go back up there and whip their ass.” Surtain <a href="https://x.com/ZacStevensDNVR/status/1863818191736119804" rel="noopener">responded to that</a> after the game.</p><p>“Obviously he’s very confident coming into the game,” Surtain said, via Zac Stevens of DNVR.</p><p>It was an entertaining matchup, as Jeudy had a great game and had some back-and-forth with his old fanbase. However, it is clear that him and Jeudy are still on good terms and friendly, which was good to see. It is not surprising given that their relationship goes back to their Alabama days.</p><p>For the Browns, they are now 3-9 on the season, but they have looked better overall as a team since Jameis Winston took over as the starting quarterback. He is on track to have his first 1,000-yard season, and he could prove to be a piece for the future for Cleveland down the stretch.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-news-broncos-browns-break-internet-trading-unreal-long-tds">For the Broncos</a>, they are now 8-5 and heading into the bye week. They currently hold the last playoff spot in the AFC, and have to beat out the Indianapolis Colts (6-7) and Miami Dolphins (5-7) to secure a spot. Denver plays Indianapolis in its return from the bye, then has three remaining games against the Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs to close out the regular season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Seemingly each time Jeudy touched the ball, boo birds would rain from the heavens.</p><p>Though he heard them, they didn’t bother him much.</p><p>“I heard it,” Jeudy said when asked about the boos. “That was a lot of boos, huh?

So, it’s safe to say the former Alabama standout had his breakout performance in the NFL. Not only did he do so in record-breaking fashion, but he did so against his former team: A true revenge game.</p><p>And while Jeudy played at a historic level, walking away with the loss made breaking the record a tad bittersweet.</p><p>“You know, it was high emotion, but you always wanna beat the team that you used to play for,” Jeudy said. “But, we came up short. We’ve got to find a way to finish, find a way to win.”</p><p>When asked if he’d trade in the NFL record for a win against his former team, Jeudy didn’t hesitate.</p><p>“Hell yeah,” Jeudy said. “Yes, I would. I would. They can have that. I need that ‘W’. I mean, that was just one step closer to getting into the playoffs. We need that.”</p><p>As the Browns sit at 3-9 and fourth in the AFC North, their climb to the playoffs looks more improbable with each loss they face.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Browns are 2-2 with Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback, so they want to get that record over .500.</p><p>This will also be a little bit of a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-news-kevin-stefanski-reason-jerry-jeudy-continued-success">revenge game for wide receiver Jerry Jeudy</a>, who started his career with the Broncos. The Browns acquired Jeudy in a trade with the Broncos over this past offseason and he is building some nice chemistry with Winston.</p><p>Before taking on his old team for the first time, Jeudy <a href="https://x.com/mikeklis9news/status/1862596238433997204" rel="noopener">made an emphatic statement</a> about how he wants Monday night to go, according to Mike Klis of 9 News.</p><p>“My feelings? I just want to go back up there and whip their ass,” Jeudy said, per Klis.</p><p>Jeudy clearly feels some type of way heading into Monday night, and now he’s playing with the confidence to back it up. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/browns-jameis-winston-reveals-how-jerry-jeudy-became-his-wr1">Winston is finding Jeudy consistently</a> since becoming the starter and the former Alabama star has become the go-to guy in the Cleveland passing game. Over the last four games, Jeudy has caught 24 balls for 379 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Jeudy leads the Browns in receiving this season with 645 yards and two touchdowns on 45 catches, so he’s playing some of the best football of his career heading into this contest.</p><h2><b>Has Jameis Winston earned the starting job in 2025?</b></h2><p> </p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jameis-Winston-3.jpg"><figcaption>Scott Galvin-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Browns are in a bit of a peculiar spot at this point in the season. They are firmly out of the AFC playoff race, but they seem to have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-jameis-winston-reveals-sean-payton-impact-career">found a bit of a spark with Jameis Winston under center</a>.</p><p>While the wins and losses don’t matter as much for this Browns team down the stretch of the season, it is in an interesting spot this offseason. The Browns are still attached to Deshaun Watson’s monster contract next season, but he will likely not be ready to play by training camp and is coming off of an injury that some players never truly fully recover from.</p><p>The Browns may have a chance to take a quarterback at the top of the 2025 NFL Draft, but this is a draft class that has generally been perceived as a weak one at that position. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-jameis-winston-starting-rest-season-browns-no-guarantee">Browns could also roll with Winston</a> into next season as the starter until or even beyond when Watson is ready to play.</p><p>Winston has inarguably been a better quarterback than Watson this season, and that difference should only be magnified with Watson coming off of a major injury. Winston’s leadership and ability to galvanize the team also cannot be overstated; they have been playing with a completely different energy and fire since he entered the lineup.</p><p>If the Browns don’t feel like a young quarterback like Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders is worth the risk at the very top of the draft, Winston could have himself a home and a job as a starting quarterback heading into 2025.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jameis Winston has gone 2-2 since becoming Cleveland’s starting quarterback in Week 8.

Look at Jerry Jeudy,” Winston told reporters. “If you look at Jerry Jeudy and you see the things that he does. He gets open. He runs after the catch, and he fights for the football.”</p><p>Asked how important it is to trust his receivers, Winston again used the question to celebrate Jeudy, who he has clearly formed a strong bond with.</p><p>“I have a lot of guys that I can trust, but, man, when you have someone that is very talented and has a knack for getting open, has a knack when the moment matters most, he makes the play,” Jeudy told reporters. “I’m grateful to be throwing the ball to Jerry Jeudy.”</p><p>You know, as a backup quarterback with an uncertain future in Cleveland, Winston’s politicking is a shrewd way to ingratiate support within the organization. And the best part? He’s actually dead-on in his assertion, as Jeudy has accounted for 379 of Winston’s 1,183 passing yards in games where he started. If that trend continues, Jeudy may rapidly make fans forget about Cooper before the end of the season.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Jerry-Jeudy-catching-a-pass-for-the-Browns.jpg"><figcaption>Ken Blaze-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Kevin Stefanski is excited about Jerry Jeudy’s play for the Browns, too</b></h2><p>While Winston was very eager to celebrate Jeudy’s play in Week 12, he wasn’t the only one, as during his Friday media availability, head coach Kevin Stefanski put over his trade acquisition for <a href="https://browns.1rmg.com/transcripts/qb-jameis-winston-11-22-24/" rel="noopener">really coming into his own</a> over the past few games.</p><p>“We really trust all those guys. I think you saw last night, Jerry coming open late in that game. It’s man coverage. He had to win on fourth down, on that big third down. But I really do believe Jameis has a ton of trust in all of our pass catchers, to include the tight ends and the running backs on the offense,” Stefanski told reporters.</p><p>“But Jerry continues to run a variety of routes for us. I think he’s winning down the field. He’s winning on shorter throws as well. So, it’s been… I’m proud of what he can continue to do for this football team because I do think that there’s always more that we can ask of these guys.”</p><p>Will fans be celebrating the Winston-to-Jeudy connection for years to come? That seriously remains to be seen, as the Browns would need to win out to really alter the narrative of their horrible season. But regardless of how the season ultimately shakes out, the Browns really need Jeudy to work out as a big part of their offense moving forward, as they just signed him to a new contract worth just under $20 million per year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
