New Browns' WR models game off one Hall-of-Famer and two other stars

Cleveland got two wide receivers in this year's NFL Draft that might be the two hardest-nosed guys they could have selected. Both KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston have the personality that they want to compete and prove that day in and day out, they are the best players on the field.

That's the right mentality to have and one that will take both of them a long way in this league, and hopefully, a long way with the Cleveland Browns.

We are going all the way back to the second night of the NFL draft for a sound bite that stuck out. Moments after being selected, Boston met with the Cleveland media and was asked by Nathan Zegura of Cleveland Browns Daily who he tries to play like. His answer should have Browns excited to see him on the field.

He said, "I've got three. Mine is Mike Evans, Tee Higgins, and Nico Collins... those are the three I watch and emulate in my game."

That's a pretty good trio to study. The truth is that if he puts together even half of the careers that all three of those guys have had, then Cleveland got themselves a winner.

Evans will be a first ballot Hall-of-Fame wide receiver in about a decade, and that isn't debatable. His career is off to San Francisco to sunset before he hangs them up for good, hopefully in several more seasons. Browns fans know all too well what both Higgins and Collins are capable of doing and how dominant those two receivers are.
