Who Should I Start? James Proche or Kendall Hinton

Tuesday, March 19, 7:22 PM

The Cleveland Browns re-signed wide receiver/kick returner James Proche II to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Proche, a former sixth-round selection by the Baltimore Ravens in 2020 out of SMU, didn't catch any of his five targets in 10 regular-season games (one start) in 2023 in his first year with the Browns. He did, however, return 22 points for 197 yards and one kickoff for a gain of 19 yards last year. The 27-year-old has a grand total of 25 career receptions on 45 targets for 278 yards and no touchdowns in 53 games (one start) in his four NFL seasons, so he's not going to be a factor suddenly on offense for Cleveland in 2024. Proche will, however, give the Browns another option to return kicks on special teams yet again.

Wide receiver Kendall Hinton was let go by the Denver Broncos in a round of cuts on Sunday. The undrafted wide receiver caught 24 passes for 311 yards in the 2022 season, both of which were career-high totals. Hinton is best known for starting a game at quarterback during the 2020 season when the NFL ruled all of Denver's signal callers were ineligible due to exposure to COVID. He was applauded for stepping in, even though the stats (1-for-9 passing for 13 yards and two interceptions) told a different story.
