The Cleveland Browns offense was supposed to be one of the most explosive units in the NFL in 2019. With the addition of Odell Beckham Jr., the Browns offense were talented at the skill positions.

However, the offense lacked the big plays throughout the season. By the middle of the season, some of the players looked disinterested to even be on the field, including Beckham. It was clear there were attitude issues occurring with the Browns offense.

Once the season was lost, it became quite obvious the players had quit on head coach Freddie Kitchens. There was a lack of effort on the field and the players seemed to be just going through the motions.

In today's featured article, after a roller coaster ride with the Browns in 2019, Beckham says he is extra motivated to improve on 2019 and have elite production in 2020.

Browns notebook: Odell Beckham Jr. says hes more motivated than ever after playing through injury, having surgery - Nate Ulrich, Akron Beacon Journal

I think myself as well had a slice of humble pie this year, because I was hurt all year. I couldnt really say I was hurt. I didnt want to make it seem like Im having an excuse, but I really couldnt do what I wanted. I just couldnt move the way that I wanted to, so I think thats why Im more motivated now than ever.

Despite dealing with a core muscle injury for nearly the entire season, Beckham still managed to have more than 1,000 receiving yards in what many consider a down year. Now that he will have the injury fixed and will have built up chemistry with Baker Mayfield, there is reason to believe Beckham can have a major turnaround in 2020.

"Tight ends are huge. Obviously, every position out there is critical, but when you're going to be a run, hard play-action type of team that can do a lot of different things, those guys are the focal point of that."

There will be a lot of focus on the Cleveland Browns tight end's group this season because of how they will be utilized in Kevin Stefanski's offense. With a lot of questions at the position, Drew Petzing will have a lot to work with.
