Position Battle #2 - TE

I thought our DB’s were shaky until I started looking into this debacle.  The Browns TE corps is lacking the almighty characteristic know as production.

Jordan Cameron 6’5” 245 – The project basketball player from USC is going to finally get to show his stuff.  Jordan sat behind Ben Watson the last 2 seasons and learned (we hope) what it takes to be an NFL TE.   Jordan definitely has the athletic ability that Norv and Chud desire at the position, the question is, can he be the go to guy?  Is he ready?

Kellen Davis – 6’6” 262 – I can’t claim this as fact because I can’t remember where I heard it from but rumor has it that Kellen’s nickname is “dick fingers”.  Now I don’t really know what that means, but I wanted to put it out there.  Kellen is your average blocking tight end that will occasionally catch the ball for you when he’s already lying on the ground.  Not much to see here folks. 

Gary Barnidge 6’6” 247 – Is a 7th year player from Carolina who’s primarily played special teams in the past.  Gary has recorded 18 catches and 1 td in his career so I don’t expect him to battle too much for a “starting” role on the team unless there are a couple injuries.  Chud must like him though since he brought him over from Carolina. 

Dan Gronkowski 6’5” 255 – There isn’t much to say about the guy.  He’s here if we need him because of injuries.  I would say he has better hands than Kellen or Gary but he lacks everything else.

The Browns only shot at getting any offensive stats out of the TE position lie within 3^rd year player out of USC Jordan Cameron.  Chances are in Chud and Norv’s TE heavy offense Jordan should get the starting nod seeing how he’s the only TE on the team that can actually catch the ball.  I don’t see much of a battle here but the thing that will be interesting to watch is the progress that Jordan has made.
