The Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku enters his ninth NFL season with something to prove after a challenging 2024 campaign that saw him sidelined for six games.
Despite the setbacks, Njoku appears determined to bounce back, and his offseason preparation suggests he’s taking nothing for granted.
Recent footage from his training regimen shows the veteran tight end attacking his conditioning with serious intensity.
The video reveals Njoku sprinting up steep hills in what appears to be solo training sessions, displaying the kind of focus that suggests he’s locked in for the upcoming season.
“David Njoku was out running hills as Browns report for training camp next week. The 2023 YAC king looks ready to reclaim his title,” Mac Blank of Dawg Pound Daily wrote.

Despite missing significant time last season, Njoku still managed to post respectable numbers with 64 receptions for 505 yards and five touchdowns.
Those 64 catches marked his second-best career total, though for a 2023 Pro Bowler, it felt like a step back from his previous production.
With Cleveland still working through quarterback uncertainty and relying on a relatively young receiver group outside of Jerry Jeudy and Diontae Johnson, Njoku’s consistency becomes even more valuable.
Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees, who previously coached tight ends, is expected to utilize two-tight-end formations with Njoku as the centerpiece.
His versatility as both a receiver and blocker makes him essential to the Browns’ offensive plans.
Njoku has expressed his desire to play every snap and earn another Pro Bowl selection, knowing that with rookie Harold Fannin Jr. pushing for snaps and contract discussions approaching for 2026, this represents a pivotal season for his career trajectory.
