Browns Rookie Making Noise Amid Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders Battle
This Cleveland Browns rookie is making a name for himself.
In the Cleveland Browns' quarterback battle, Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders are drawing the most attention. However, another rookie is also making an impression: cornerback Michael Coats Jr. The undrafted free agent from West Virginia entered the league without being drafted and played just 14 coverage snaps in his preseason debut.
Despite the limited time, Coats made an impact by allowing just two completions for 13 yards on five targets, recording a pass breakup and an interception. These statistics, along with a 90.0 PFF grade, indicate he may be worth a closer look for the Browns. PFF ranked Coats among the best rookies in the NFL so far, which is promising for Cleveland fans.
As the quarterback situation remains the main focus, Coats can continue to build his case for a larger role with the team.
