    While there has been some discussion of Joshua Cribbs playing defensive back, it seems he'll be used mostly on special teams and as a receiver. The Browns like him running the ball. Cribbs has told the Browns that he still likes covering punts and kicks, where he's their top tackler over the past four seasons.

    I doubt it would be wise to overuse his talents, as history has shown you could take an above average KR and turn him into a below average WR/DB/KR.

    His stats aren't incredible BUT.... he was and is ALWAYS a threat to break a big run. He's a special talent but what makes him truly incredible is how much he excels in ALL aspects of special teams. He's a monster on coverage as well.
