Cleveland Browns Sign Former WVU Receiver Winston Wright Jr.

The Cleveland Browns have signed Winston Wright Jr., a versatile wide receiver and return specialist, as an undrafted free agent ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Wright had a productive collegiate career spanning West Virginia, Florida State, and East Carolina, finishing with 187 receptions for 1,930 yards and 18 touchdowns, along with significant contributions on special teams including kickoff return touchdowns. His best college season was in 2021 at West Virginia where he led the team in receptions and receiving yards, and he earned Second Team All-America honors as a returner at East Carolina in 2024. The Browns hope Wright's experience and special teams prowess will add depth to their receiver corps behind veterans like Jerry Jeudy and Diontae Johnson. Wright will need to impress during training camp and preseason to secure a spot on the 53-man roster or practice squad. This signing addresses a key positional concern for the Browns as they prepare for the season.
