During our training camp preview on the tight end position for the Cleveland Browns, we asked three poll questions to fans.
In Part 1 of our TE preview, we asked two questions related to projected productivity for the team’s top two receiving tight ends. First, we started with David Njoku, where fans 71% of fans believe he’ll have an good/average type of season receiving-wise as a rookie — for example, around 600 yards, which would be on par with what veteran tight end Gary Barnidge logged a year ago. 27% believe he can be the offensive MVP of the club and get near 1,000 yards receiving, and just 2% believe he’ll be a disappointment.

He’ll have some good/promising plays mixed in, but more like an average season productivity wise (i.e. 600 yards).

The expectation is that Seth DeValve is improved this offseason and expected to see a much bigger and trusted role in the offense. 58% of fans think he'll have around 400 yards, while 37% believe he'll get 600+ yards. Last year, he only had 127 yards receiving, so either of those projections would be a pretty big leap for a No. 2 tight end. That shows how much of a factor fans think our tight ends will be, in part due to a weaker wide receiver group.
