Part of third WR mix Hunt has been participating in offseason virtual programs with wide receivers, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Impact That practice follows in line with Hunt's role from 2019, when he finished third on the Browns with 37 catches despite missing the first eight games due to a suspension. Cleveland tried a number of wideouts as the No. 3 wide receiver and none could hold the job, which remains wide open heading into 2020. The Browns feel Hunt can do more than just serve as backup to Nick Chubb, so expect him to be active in the passing game. "I've been very impressed with [Hunt] as a receiver," new Browns wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator Chad O'Shea said Wednesday. "I've been impressed with him as a receiver as a running back. I've been fortunate to be around a lot at that spot, and I know that it brings great value to that position when you can be a threat in the pass game." Hunt will compete with Rashard Higgins, rookie Donovan Peoples-Jones, KhaDarel Hodge and Damion Ratley.
