Josh Gordon is back, and he’s never been more confident.
The Browns star told Nate Burleson that he plans to “tear this league up” over the next six weeks.
“He told me: ‘Starting on practice this Wednesday, I’m going to outwork everybody on the field,'” Burleson said Tuesday on NFL Total Access: “(He said) ‘I’m going to try to evoke a pride in Cleveland that can hopefully lead us to the playoffs.’ He’s excited about coming back.”
Burleson referred back to a conversation he had with Gordon before he started serving his suspension.
“He said, ‘I plan to lose 10 to 15 pounds and when I come back I’m going to tear this league up,'” Burleson said. “Now, this offense is different; it’s not the same offense as last year. So, they’re not going to be running and gunning throwing the ball up the sideline, but definitely look for them to get Josh involved early, kind of to get his rhythm back.”
