The Cleveland Browns are having a rough opening week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which is reminding us why this is the first offseason we’ve ever talked about the team as much as everyone did.

But while Johnny Manziel isn’t in the game and isn’t playing a factor in the action for the Browns, there are other players who are showing some promise for the future. One of those players is Isaiah Crowell, who is someone no one knows but is trying to prove he can be one of the pieces that stick in Cleveland.

He showed that in the second half against the Steelers on Sunday when he sprinted past the defense in Pittsburgh to give the Browns some hope in what was a 27-10 game at the time.

Crowell may not be a star in the NFL and he may not even be the designated starter, but injuries have allowed carries to trickle down to him and he’s very much taking advantage of it every single step of the way.
