Running back Andre Johnson will sign with the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday, according to an ESPN report.
The Browns have a player option for the 2019 season, and they’re hoping Johnson can help the team in a variety of ways.
Johnson was one of the best running backs in football last season after missing the entire campaign with an injury.
The 24-year-old is expected to take on more of a running role, which he did well in for Cleveland.
The former first-round pick has 1,890 yards on the ground and eight touchdowns on the year.
Johnson has the ability to be an all-purpose back.
He was able to get yards after contact on just 37.6 percent of his carries last season.
The most impressive aspect of Johnson is his running style.
He can do it all, but he has the most versatility.
He can be a playmaker or a blocking tight end.
He is a player who can get separation and get yards on second and third down.
The 6-foot-2, 235-pounder is also capable of making plays in space.
He’s an excellent route runner and can make tough catches in the open field.
