It\u2019s not unheard of to see 2 or 3 tryout players be impressive enough during the rookie minicamp that they end up getting signed. However, the majority of players are there to simply fill out the numbers game for a camp. For example, the Browns need someone to handle long snapping duties for the weekend, so they brought John Ferimann from Ohio State in to handle those duties for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Throughout the season, the Browns will often bring in players for tryouts. However, this is the first time I can recall seeing a veteran player participate in rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. I am referring to WR Jaelon Reagor, who was formerly a first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Non-Rookies on Roster (6 players)<\/p>\n

Every year, there are some players who aren\u2019t rookies, but are fringe first-year players (typically on reserve\/future contracts), who also take part in rookie minicamp. These are the type of players who also need to have a solid rookie minicamp, because if one of those 25 tryout players makes a big impression, these guys could be viewed as yesterday\u2019s news, so-to-speak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cleveland Browns rookie minicamp is officially underway in Berea and will run from May 8-10, before a few…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":886112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[32193,30980,86,15908,85,54,2337,52643,7,2780,6,996,1446,22842,109,3243,33316,7723,20703,582],"class_list":["post-886111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cleveland-browns","tag-austin-barber","tag-berea","tag-browns","tag-caden-prieskorn","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-clevelandbrowns","tag-cole-hutson","tag-football","tag-justin-jefferson","tag-nfl","tag-ohio","tag-ohio-state","tag-parker-brailsford","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-rookie-minicamp","tag-sal-cannella","tag-spencer-fano","tag-taylen-green","tag-the-browns"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116541586382210608","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=886111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/886111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/886112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=886111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=886111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
