Gordon: Browns have 'best receiving corps in the NFL'

Ken Blaze / USA TODAY Sports

True to his confident form, Josh Gordon said Tuesday that the Cleveland Browns have "the best receiving corps in the NFL."

"Just based off of talent alone," he told reporters at Browns minicamp, including Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. "... That's just my opinion, but (we're) not short on talent at the wide receiver position at all."

Gordon, who returned to the field last year for the first time since 2014 after overcoming off-field issues, is set to lead a receiving group that also features three-time Pro Bowler Jarvis Landry and 2016 first-round pick Corey Coleman.

Landry was acquired in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, and his production in short-yardage situations could nicely complement Gordon's ability to stretch the field.

"He ain't lying," Landry said, when asked about Gordon's assessment, per Zac Jackson of The Athletic.

Gordon led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in 2013, the last season when he played more than five games, and Landry recorded an NFL-best 112 catches in 2017.
