The Cleveland Browns offense, already one of the NFL's most potent units, has several players poised for potential breakout seasons in 2021. Here are the top three candidates:

3. Jedrick Wills Jr, Offensive Tackle Despite being the most penalized player in football during his rookie year with eight false starts and three holding calls, Wills showed promise in protecting Baker Mayfield. Reducing penalties while maintaining his solid pass protection could elevate him to elite status.

2. Austin Hooper, Tight End The highest-paid tight end in NFL history (at signing) had a modest first season in Cleveland with 46 catches, 435 yards, and 4 touchdowns. At just 26 years old and under contract through 2024, Hooper could flourish with a stronger connection to Mayfield, who historically favors targeting tight ends.

1. Odell Beckham Jr, Wide Receiver OBJ was finding his rhythm before an ACL tear ended his 2020 season. With a full offseason to build chemistry with Mayfield in Kevin Stefanski's offense, Beckham could return to his elite form. His ability to stretch the field would create opportunities for Cleveland's other playmakers.

Each of these players has shown flashes of excellence, and their continued development could help take the Browns' offense to an even higher level in 2021.
