Asante Samuel Sr. critiques Jerry Jeudy regarding future with Cleveland Browns

Summary

Former All-Pro cornerback Asante Samuel Sr. stated that Jerry Jeudy is running out of time to improve his reliability as a receiver for the Cleveland Browns. After a 2024 season that included a career-high 90 receptions, Jeudy experienced a decline in 2025, recording 50 catches for 602 yards on 106 targets. Samuel attributed these struggles to issues at the catch point, despite praising Jeudy’s route-running ability. The team has shifted Jeudy to the Z receiver position, while rookie Denzel Boston is expected to take over at the X receiver spot. The Browns open their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars with Deshaun Watson returning as the starting quarterback following two Achilles surgeries. Jeudy maintained he is confident in his ability to rebound after dedicating his offseason to training.
