BROWNS QB SAYS RECEIVER DUO WILL BE ‘VERY SPECIAL’ TOGETHER

Gordon, Landry ‘very talented at what they do.’

Tyrod Taylor has BEREA — eagerly awaited the Josh and Jarvis Show, and now it’s almost here.

By Saturday, Josh Gordon could be back on the practice field starting opposite Jarvis Landry, just like it was in OTAs and minicamp with the two Pro Bowlers.

It’s a pairing of the 2017 NFL receptions leader (112) in Landry with the 2013 receiving yards leader (1,646) in Gordon, and Taylor expects them to make some beautiful offense together.

“I think they’d be very special,” said Taylor. “Two different skill sets but very talented at what they do. Josh is one of the faster guys in the league and one of the bigger receivers in the league, so he’s definitely a very talented receiver.

“You don’t really run across guys like that often on teams. And, of course, Jarvis, you’ve seen him day in and day out how he competes and what he brings to the table, so we’re looking forward to having those guys on the field together. It puts defenses in a bind for sure.”

Taylor has seen a focused and upbeat Gordon since he returned Saturday from his treatment program at the University of Florida.

“He’s definitely excited,” said Taylor. “He wants to be with the team, but he had to do what was best for him. He’s ready to be back on the field, and we’re ready to see him out there on the field. We know what type of play- maker he is and the things he’s done while he’s played has been phenomenal.”
