After an extensive search, the Cleveland Browns officially named Todd Monken as their new head coach, betting on an offensive mastermind who could take the franchise – and its quarterback situation – to a whole new level.
The Browns’ offseason has been anything but quiet. With Kevin Stefanski out, all eyes now turn to Monken and one key question: can he unlock the full potential of Shedeur Sanders – if he chooses to build around him?
Cleveland has begun highlighting Monken’s résumé, and the numbers from his most recent stop are eye-catching. Over his final three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens,
Monken led one of the most dominant offenses in the NFL:
- No. 1 rushing offense (166.9 yards per game; 8,512 total rushing yards)
- No. 2 in total scrimmage yards (19,860 total; 389.4 per game)
- No. 3 in points per game (27.9)
- No. 3 in rushing touchdowns (70)
- No. 5 in receiving touchdowns (91)
