It’s not unheard of to see 2 or 3 tryout
players be impressive enough during the rookie minicamp that they end up getting signed. However, the majority of players are there to simply fill out the numbers game for a camp. For example, the Browns need someone to handle long snapping duties for the weekend, so they brought John Ferimann from Ohio State in to handle those duties for the weekend.
Throughout the season, the Browns will often bring in players for tryouts. However, this is the first time I can recall seeing a veteran player participate in rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. I am referring to WR Jaelon Reagor, who was formerly a first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Non-Rookies on Roster (6 players)
- RB Ahmani Marshall
- WR Luke Floriea
- TE Sal Cannella
- TE Caden Prieskorn
- OT Jack Conley
- P Nik Constantinou
Every year, there are some players who aren’t rookies, but are fringe first-year players (typically on reserve/future contracts), who also take part in rookie minicamp. These are the type of players who also need to have a solid rookie minicamp, because if one of those 25 tryout players makes a big impression, these guys could be viewed as yesterday’s news, so-to-speak.
