Just quoting from what I found on a Browns source (don't shoot me):
Felton was drafted by the team in the sixth round in the 2021 draft. Lauded for his versatility by the team, the running back was primarily used as a wide receiver early in his career. The Browns sought to get the ball in the hands of the shifty talent, using him as a return specialist, where he received All-Rookie Team honors from the PFWA. Felton would become a jack of all trades, master of none, making this roster move unsurprising.
Felton Jr. has an uncanny ability to make would-be tacklers miss in close quarters. However, his size and lack of top-end speed have so far limited his role. I could see the Browns being interested in him returning to the team’s practice squad. He can become an NFL contributor if he can learn to master a position.
