Meet Harold Fannin Jr., the Browns' locally raised tight end with college records and an NFL-ready skillset

Harold Fannin Jr. tied an NFL record in Week 1.

The Cleveland Browns' rookie tight end had seven catches, which is the most a rookie TE has ever had in a debut. It's now tied atop the list with the Colts' Tyler Warren, who did the same thing.

It's still quite the feat, and it's just the start of what can be a special NFL career for Fannin.

Even cooler, Fannin is a local product who starred at a MAC school, too. If he grows into a star for Cleveland, it'll be that much more special.

Cleveland Browns TE depth chart

The Cleveland Browns' tight end depth chart looks like this:

1. David Njoku
2. Harold Fannin Jr.
3. Blake Whiteheart

The Browns use Fannin a variety of spots in the formation and used 12 personnel (two tight ends) often in Week 1, so his placement as the No. 2 tight end is more nominal than it is important.
