As the Cleveland Browns concluded their playoff run against the Houston Texans, their hopes for an extended postseason journey were dashed by the determined Texans, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Despite a formidable defense anchored by Myles Garrett, the Browns fell short in the first round, prompting attention to shift towards the upcoming 2024 season.
Amidst speculations about potential roster changes, veteran running back Kareem Hunt, who contributed significantly with two touchdowns against the Texans, asserted his commitment to staying with the Browns during the NFL offseason. Despite Nick Chubb’s continued role as the lead back, Hunt appears content with his position on the team’s depth chart.

In the 2023 NFL season, Hunt showcased his prowess by accumulating 411 rushing yards and nine touchdowns, complemented by 15 receptions for 84 yards. The trio of Chubb, Jerome Ford, and Hunt emerged as a potent force in the Browns’ ground game, laying the foundation for a formidable rushing attack in the upcoming season.
While the running back situation seems stable, the quarterback position remains a focal point of concern, particularly with Deshaun Watson’s performance and the expectations surrounding his substantial contract. As the Browns transition from the concluded season to the uncertainties of the offseason, the team aims to address key areas for improvement and solidify their position as contenders in the upcoming NFL campaign.
