Browns Nation News And Notes (2/25/22)

It is Friday, Browns fans.

The Cleveland Browns are shuffling members of the coaching staff, and that is our top story for the Friday, February 24, 2022 edition of Browns Nation news and notes.

1. Browns Promote Offensive Assistant T.C. McCartney

T.C. McCartney who has served as the offensive assistant since 2020 will serve as the team’s tight ends coach in 2022.

McCartney, 32, is an LSU alumnus who played quarterback during his academic career.

Before rejoining the Browns (he was an offensive assistant for one season in 2014) in 2020, he was the Denver Broncos quarterbacks coach.

He has also spent time with the San Francisco 49ers and in the NCAA ranks with Colorado and LSU.

McCartney will replace Drew Petzing who is expected to take another position within the Browns coaching staff.

Petzing had previously interviewed for the offensive coordinator position with Josh McDaniels and the Las Vegas Raiders that ultimately went to Mick Lombardi.

2. RGIII Weighs In On What Baker Mayfield Must Accomplish In 2022

Former quarterback turned ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III believes that Baker Mayfield has to lead the Browns to a Super Bowl Championship in 2022 to cement a future in Cleveland beyond 2022.

In addition to putting this weight squarely on Mayfield’s shoulders, RGIII mentions that Mayfield thrives under pressure and when his back is against the wall.

It remains to be seen if RGIII is correct, but football remains a team sport so Mayfield cannot achieve these lofty goals alone.
