After working out 11 players yesterday, Cleveland Browns have keyed in on signing a wide receiver. According to Brad Stainbrook of theOBR, Cleveland is signing wide receiver Austin Watkins who won a USFL Championship in 2023.
Watkins is a former UAB standout in college that recorded 1,642 receiving yards over three seasons. As a sophomore, Watkins totaled 1,092 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

While with the Birmingham Stallions, Watkins recorded 197 receiving yards and a touchdown. Watkins is a 25-year-old receiver that has a long frame at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds.
