Nearly 20 years ago https://www.brownsfanshop.com/hats , Browns coach Freddie Kitchens worked for former Browns assistant Nick Saban while Saban served as head coach at LSU. As Kitchens takes over an NFL team of his own, Saban offered praise to his former employee, explaining that Saban saw the potential in Kitchens.“Yeah, because to me Freddie was a good teacher, he’s very smart, very bright about football and he’s the kind of person that I think people see he’s authentic in terms of how he comes across to people, players can trust him Cleveland Browns Hoodie , believe in him,” Saban recently told the (Oh.) . “It’s no surprise to me, because he did a great job for us. I’m happy for him that he’s got the opportunity he’s got now, I think he’ll do a great job.”Kitchens arrived at LSU as a graduate assistant after a year at Glenville State College in Saban’s home state of West Virginia.“He does things to help players get better,” Saban said regarding Kitchens. “In my time in the league, if you do that, players are never going to be an issue or a problem because they know that you can create value for them https://www.brownsfanshop.com/James-Burgess-Jersey , and I think Freddie’s always been able to do that.”Whatever Kitchens can do, he’ll be facing plenty of pressure to do it in Cleveland. The Browns have the talent and the expectations, and if they fail to meet the high bar that has been set for them, it likely will be Kitchens’ fault. CBS Sports keeps the hype train rolling as Cleveland easily outpaced division rivals this offseason." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesDawgs EDTWinning in the offseason does not always equate to winning when it matters, but it can go a long way for a team. That is the hope for the Cleveland Browns, who have been making headlines since the start of the league year in March. The moves that general manager John Dorsey made in support of first-time head coach Freddie Kitchens - most notably the trade for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. - have earned the Browns a top grade from Ryan Wilson at CBS Sports. Wilson took a look at the offseason transactions made by the Browns and their fellow teams in the AFC North Division, and while he handed a C+ to the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers Jim Brown Color Rush Jersey , and a C- to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns walked out with an A on their report card:It is a bit odd that Wilson makes no mention of the loss of right guard Kevin Zeitler and the possible repercussions of that move, but otherwise hits all the high points. While the grades ultimately mean little, they do reflect how Dorsey has worked hard to close the talent gap between the Browns and the other teams in the division. (They also will not help Dorsey’s efforts to quiet the growing hype about the Browns.)Dorsey has done a good job setting up the Browns as “winners” in the offseason, now it is up to Kitchens and the players to turn the team into actual winners come this fall.
