The Browns in both 2023 and ’24 had just 5 White players on their roster besides their placekicker and long snapper. They even had a black punter. This organization plumbed new depths of anti-Whiteness never before seen in the NFL and that's saying a lot. However, to start the 2025 season, the number of White players “skyrockets” to double digits, all the way to 12, including 7 starters. Woohoo!
Considering how bad the Browns are almost every season, even Andrew Berry, the organization’s rabidly pro-black GM, seemed to realize that fielding the NFL’s version of the Harlem Globetrotters each year was not going to lead to success.
As in previous years, the heart of the team’s still quite modest White contingent is found on the offensive line, and a good one it is, with 12th year veteran Joel Bitonio at left guard, 9th year vet Ethan Pocic at center, 8th year vet Wyatt Teller manning right guard, and the topnotch two-time first team All Pro Jack Conklin, now fully recovered from a severe knee injury that cost him the 2023 season and part of last year’s, returning at right tackle.
Luke Wypler is the backup center, and Zak Zinter (not to be confused with running back Zach Zenner, a CF favorite who might still be starting in the NFL if he was treated fairly) backs up Teller at RG.
40-year-old Joe Flacco was signed off the Caste junkpile in 2023 and promptly led the Brownies to the playoffs, being a huge upgrade over Deshaun Watson and the rest of the team’s previously all-black QB group. The Browns "rewarded" Flacco's season saving efforts by making no effort to re-sign him and there was no interest from any other team either until the Colts signed him midway through the ’24 campaign. Flacco now returns and is still playing well at an age considerably older than any black QB ever has other than Warren Moon.
Kenny Pickett was set to back up Flacco but was traded to Las Vegas after Aiden O’Connell went down for some time. Joe’s backups are now rookie Dillon Gabriel, a short Poly, and the notorious Shedeur Sanders (no need to waste any more space on the much hyped Sanders).
Blake Whiteheart is listed as the third-string tight end. He had 6 catches for 51 yards last year.
On defense the Browns “shocked the world,” or more accurately that small number of White football fans who are racially aware by drafting tackle Mason Graham from Michigan in the first round, fifth overall, and then followed that up by drafting UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger with the first pick of Round 2, 33rd overall. Both have had excellent training camps according to reports, and both are being “allowed” to start as rookies, so neither will suffer a racial apprenticeship.
The Browns have another “first” this year, a backup White defensive player, end Cam Thomas, originally drafted by Arizona in the third round in 2022. He’s currently listed as third string on the Browns’ depth chart.
So the Browns are now more of a “normal” NFL team, not many Whites but not the almost completely black roster of the previous two seasons. They even have 6 White men on their practice squad including some fairly well known players such as Kaden Davis, Cole Strange and Bailey Zappe.
QB: Joe Flacco
LG: Joel Bitonio
C: Ethan Pocic, Luke Wypler
RG: Wyatt Teller, Zak Zinter
RT: Jack Conklin
TE: Blake Whiteheart
RDT: Mason Graham
RDE: Cameron Thomas
MLB: Carson Schwesinger (he’ll be wearing the green dot as a rookie)
K: Andre Szmyt
LS: Rex Sunahara is the long snapper; he has a Japanese father and possibly a White mother, could only find one picture that might be her, but definitely looks Japanese, which gives Cleveland the only non-White LS that I’m aware of.
Practice Squad: WR Kaden Davis (looked great in training camp but destined to join that huge fraternity of capable White receivers who never get a shot no matter how much they excel), OG Garrett Dellinger, C Cole Strange (former first round pick by New England), TE Sal Canella, QB Bailey Zappe, TE Brenden Bates
Number of White Starters: 7
Number of Whites on the 53: 12
Grade: D- (still a garbage organization but I’m feeling generous given their uptick this year from the previous depths)
