With the NFL combine this week, the Cleveland Browns have shared a glimpse inside the process, an interview with wide receiver Jerry Jeudy from 2020.
The week of the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is upon us, where teams will extensively meet and evaluate players for the first time in person for the draft cycle. On their X page, the Browns posted a video of when they spoke with receiver Jerry Jeudy at the combine leading up to the 2020 draft.

Cleveland wide receivers coach Chad O’Shea was viewing a play with Jeudy where he and another receiver were in a stack alignment. Jeudy’s coaches decided to switch up the receivers’ normal technique on this specific play and O’Shea thought it would be a tough question to ask Jeudy why they did that.
Jeudy understood the reason they changed the technique is because the corners were playing top hat, which to a lot of teams is a man coverage technique used against stack alignments where the press corner takes the release of the off receiver instead of the point man. O’Shea was impressed by Jeudy’s understanding of the approach and why it worked.
Additionally, Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski asked what Jeudy thinks he has to work on at that time and Jeudy mentioned his strength. Although Jeudy hasn’t always been fond of the lifting part of football, he spoke on his increased realization of how essential weightlifting is for NFL success.
Jeudy set the record for single-season receptions in Cleveland franchise history in his first season with the team. The 25-year-old surpassed all expectations in his first year after some fans around the league felt the team overpaid because of his underwhelming production to that point. Jeudy will look to build on a tremendous first season with the Browns in hopefully a more successful season in 2025.
