Reuben Droughns

The Browns signed Reuben Droughns to a three-year deal yesterday. Droughns is the kind of hard-nosed football player that it's easy to like. Although he's only 5'11 and 215 lbs., he plays a lot bigger than that. Droughns is a tough, physical runner who always looks to end his runs by delivering a hit to the guys trying to tackle him. But Droughns has also shown that he has the ability to break a big run (like the 75 yarder he ripped off against the Dolphins).

The physical style of Droughns' play wore him down towards the end of the season, and finding a reliable back to give him some snaps off should be one of the team's priorities this offseason. Still, Reuben Droughns looks damn good in a orange helmet, and it's nice to know he'll be around next year.
