The reviews on Josh Gordon were a mixed bag when the Cleveland Browns selected him in the second round of the supplemental draft. The former Baylor wide receiver had NFL-quality metrics -- he's big, fast and strong -- but the prior transgressions and a year off from football raised red flags. So far, he's making the Browns look smart.
Brandon Weeden hits Josh Gordon for 4th TD in 3 games
Josh Gordon and Brandon Weeden are just out there playing a little catch
The rookie wide receiver caught his fourth touchdown in the last three games on a 33-yard strike from Brandon Weeden. Gordon now has 14 catches for 325 yards on the season and is averaging over 23 yards per reception.
