When is the last time Cleveland Browns fans have been this excited for a season to start?

Unfortunately, the answer is 2019, and we all know how that ended. But something this time is different.

In 2019 there was still a ton of uncertainty. The team was so young, Freddie Kitchens had jumped from quarterback coach to head coach in less than 12 months, and they had a ton of new pieces to the organization that needed time to gel.

In just one season, head coach Kevin Stefanski has more than proven he is the guy moving forward. Not only did he earn NFL Coach of the year in 2020, but he also let the Browns to their first playoff win since 1994, and gave fans in Cleveland more excitement than I can remember since 1999.

Many have predicted that 2021 could be the year for the Browns to compete for a Super Bowl. Three of their top players are still on rookie contracts, and they made big moves this offseason to really bolster the roster.

While the Browns should have the roster to compete in 2021, don’t think the Kansas City Chiefs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or Buffalo Bills are just going to roll over. There will be five or six teams that have a legitimate shot, but the Browns should be one of them.

Although the roster is loaded with talent, there is always room for improvement. Check out these three positions that could be the limiting factor of the Browns’ success in 2021.
