"Cleveland Browns' Cedric Tillman labeled 'sleeper' pick in 2023 NFL Draft"

Cleveland Browns' general manager Andrew Berry's draft selection of wide receiver Cedric Tillman from Tennessee has been lauded as a "sleeper pick" by college coaches. Tillman's size and ability to make contested catches have been praised, and he has an advocate in fellow Tennessee alumnus and Browns quarterback Josh Dobbs. Dobbs believes Tillman's skills will translate well to the NFL and head coach Kevin Stefanski's offense. If Tillman can live up to expectations, he won't be a sleeper pick for long.
