Greg Little

Josh Gordon's emergence rendered Little an afterthought in 2013, and the Browns waived him this offseason. The Raiders picked him up for depth, but he failed to make their final 53-man roster.

The ironically named Little is 6-2, 220, but he's not particularly fast, and he's no longer the No. 1 wideout in the Cleveland offense – a role that now belongs to the more explosive Josh Gordon. That said, Little did increase his YPT to a passable 7.0 (for a possession receiver), and that was despite playing with a rookie quarterback getting on-the-job training. The problem for Little was the meager eight red-zone targets to go along with the lack of big plays. With Rob Chudzinski taking over as head coach (and Norv Turner offensive coodinator), there's a chance Little could see more opportunities from in close, but Turner's offenses usually feature a heavy dose of running near the goal line, and Little is unlikely to turn into Antonio Gates. That said, Gordon is suspended for the seasons' first two games, so Little should pick up a few extra targets early on.

At 6-2, 220, the inaptly named Little is a big, physical target that saw a featured role in the Browns offense – 121 looks – but struggled a good deal as a rookie. For starters, he dropped 12 passes (tied for 2nd, despite having at least 20 fewer targets than the other drop leaders), and his 5.9 YPT ranked him dead last among all 100-target receivers. Of course, some of that had to do with poor quarterback play, and to remedy that the Browns drafted Brandon Weeden to compete with Colt McCoy – though it’s hard to see either being even an average signal caller in 2012. Little has just average speed and doesn’t project as much of a downfield threat, but his size and athletic ability should make him an appealing target in the red zone, should the Browns ever find themselves in that area of the field. Just keep in mind that blue-chip prospect running back Trent Richardson will likely be the focal point of the offense and the first option near the goal line.

Little is a big, physical receiver who will get every opportunity to make an impression in Cleveland. He hasn't played a down since 2009 after being suspended for the 2010 season at North Carolina, but he has a ton of upside and could work his way into the fold with young quarterback Colt McCoy. Probably not draft worthy, but certainly has the size and skill set to make an early impact. The biggest thing standing in his way is the lack of consistent quarterback play in Cleveland.
