Browns’ rookies have already set an NFL offensive record through 2 games image

The Cleveland Browns may not have a win yet.

But their rookies have already made NFL history.

Through two games, the Browns have more pass receptions by a rookie than any team ever has in the Super Bowl era, according to Andrew Siciliano.

That works out to a total of 28 catches, contributed by four different rookies.

Tight end Harold Fannin Jr. is the team leader with 12 receptions.

Running back Dylan Sampson has 11 grabs.

Quinshon Judkins has three catches.

And Isaiah Bond has added two catches.

Fannin has been the surprise star so far, with a tight end rookie record-tying seven receptions in Week 1 and then five more in Week 2. He was the FBS record-setter for tight end catches and yardage last season for Bowling Green, and the Canton native is shining in Cleveland.

Sampson made eight catches just in Week 1, and he looks primed to remain the passing down back even with Judkins back.

Despite mostly playing on early downs in his NFL debut in Week 2, Judkins found a way to catch three passes in addition to his 10 carries.

And Bond should get more snaps as the season goes along after joining Cleveland late in the summer.

This might be a rebuilding year in Cleveland, but at least so far, a bunch of Browns are already getting the chance to develop.
