Fans of the Cleveland Browns are expecting this season to be full of exciting things. With training camp kicking off, it is the first chance to get a glimpse of some of those exciting things.

Browns fans hope and excitement are based on a great 2020 season and solid additions this offseason. One of those additions is wide receiver Anthony Schwartz. Schwartz has all-world track speed but, in an Auburn offense that struggled at quarterback, didn’t put up huge numbers. There were some concerns that he struggled with the nuances of the position and had some drop issues.

With training camp opening up, Schwartz has already made a couple of big plays in attempting to relieve any of those concerns.

In this play, we see (barely) Schwartz slow play his release off the line before accelerating his route across the formation. Schwartz beats veteran slot cornerback Troy Hill with a nice catch on the run:

With Hill in close coverage and both Mack Wilson and Anthony Walker underneath, Baker Mayfield puts the pass in a great spot for Schwartz to pull it down.

With Odell Beckham Jr. returning from injury and Donovan Peoples-Jones going into his second year, the Browns have three dynamic speed receivers for Mayfield to work with. If Schwartz can keep making these kinds of plays, Cleveland’s offense can go to another level in 2021.
