The Cleveland Browns are hoping that wide receiver Jerry Jeudy can bounce back after a down year in 2025. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken expressed confidence that Jeudy, a former 1,000-yard receiver, will be able to recapture his previous success.

Why it matters

Jeudy's performance is crucial for the Browns' offense, which struggled at times last season. If he can return to his previous level of production, it would provide a major boost to the team's passing attack.

The details

Monken said he believes the Browns will be able to 'get Jerry Jeudy back to two years ago,' referring to Jeudy's strong 2024 campaign when he had over 1,000 receiving yards. The team is confident they can help Jeudy 're-leap' to that level of play after a down year in 2025.

  • Jeudy had over 1,000 receiving yards in the 2024 NFL season.
  • Jeudy struggled in the 2025 NFL season.

What they’re saying

“I think we are going to be able to get Jerry Jeudy back to two years ago. That's not a leap. But that's a re-leap—is that a word? But I think we're going to be able to do that.”

— Todd Monken, Offensive Coordinator, Cleveland Browns

The takeaway

The Browns are counting on Jeudy to bounce back in 2026 and provide a much-needed boost to their passing game after a down year. If he can return to his 2024 form, it could be a key factor in the team's success next season.
