Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Browns fans and fans across the country.
There wasn’t much to be happy about as a Cleveland Browns fan in the team’s 34-10 loss to begin the preseason this past Saturday. Much like last year, though, one of the bright spots involved members of the team’s rookie class, specifically WR KC Concepcion, LT Spencer Fano, and CB Michael Coats.
Concepcion was the flashiest, having 3 catches for 27 yards and 1 carry for 14 yards that went for a touchdown.
Great design here on KC Concepcion’s touchdown on the fly sweep.

The Browns are running pin-and-pull action to the left, with the center and left tackle pulling left. That action is important because it holds the No. 2 linebacker in the box and gets the defense flowing away from… pic.twitter.com/tMhUgSaUdc
Fano anchored the left tackle position for the first half, and appeared to be doing a solid job.

Of course he was going to shine in his first preseason game

Coats, an undrafted free agent, had 2 tackles, 1 interception, and a separate pass defended.
Michael Coats Jr. reads it like a book for the INT
