This rookie class was special, when I find a play this offseason that encompasses why I'll share it here
On this play Fannin looks like he's the college kid dominating the neighborhood turkey bowl game
Absurd tackle breaking and leg churn
Fannin's no-gloves, fingers-taped, throwback look is emblematic of his playstyle
He looks like a tecmo bowl-era player and plays like one using a turbo assisted controller, cheesing the tackle-breaking mechanic
Fannin led all TEs in broken tackles, by a ton
A historic rookie performance with 20 broken tackles
Next closest was Trey McBride wtih 14, Kelce's best season he had 24 for reference
Fannin led the Browns in receptions, he also led the next closest Brown by 50% (Fannin 72, Jeudy 48)
8th among all TEs in TDs on the worst passing offense I have watched in a long time
A rookie pro-bowl alternate on a 5-win team
Fannin is the rare high volume, able to get open and break tackles yac monster offenses need
That Joe Jurevicius or Anquon Boldin or Jarvis Landry role (or Travis Kelce?)
He's a piece towards getting this right on offense
Adding that deep field #1 WR threat will be a priority to compliment what Fannin adds to an offense and maximize his impact

Boy what a fun week. First game I got my girlfriend to watch with me, gave her a whole spiel about how bad it was going to be beforehand to prepare her.
Also, please keep up these posts, this is great.
I love that triple brown and Harold made it look so much more better performing like this in it. Can’t wait for him to come back better than ever next year.
Need a good wideout to give Fannin some more space underneath. Dude is killer and really fun to watch
Plus…the taped knuckles. Great look
Get him to put on some mass this offseason to improve the run blocking but he’s such a stud
He is probably the best TE we could have got. That is saying something since Warren and Loveland look pretty solid.
He might be my new favorite brown since Chubb left.
I legitimately, confidently, &accurately predicted this win
