The Cleveland Browns have re-signed Tony Brown II, a special teams standout, as they aim to revamp their struggling special teams unit. Entering his eighth NFL season, Brown's energy and enthusiasm are seen as crucial for a team that faced significant challenges with adapting to new kickoff rules, resulting in one of the league's least effective special teams performances.

Brown's season included five tackles and a forced fumble after he joined the active roster from the practice squad in October. In the wake of releasing Mike Ford Jr., the Browns are looking for Brown to help establish a more aggressive and effective approach on special teams, where toughness has been noticeably absent. As the team prepares for next season, expectations are high for Brown to not just fill a role but to be a transformative leader on special teams.
