Charlotte, NC – Luke Floriea learned something to the hard time when the pre -season of the Browns in the Carolina Panthers. The lesson came in the form of a problem of the hamstrings who brought it out of the match in the third quarter.
“It’s good,” said Florea in the post-match changing rooms. “He’s just a little cramped. Need to hydrate during the week. Take better with me. It’s something to learn.”

Isochio-whimsters can be more than something just to learn, depending on how he reacts to treatment in the coming days. Otherwise, for the old mentor High School and Kent State University out of all, the lessons won on August 8 against Carolina were almost all positive.
Floriea may have had only one take – more about this in a little – for 30 yards on two targets in the match, as well as two returns of boot of release and a return of kick -off. However, it was not only a question of statistics.
When your path to the potentially manufacturing of the list of 53 men from an NFL team begins by being a minicamp rookie test player, all pre-season statistics are gold. For Floriea, who played 14 offensives and four special teams against the Panthers, everything is surreal in a way.
“It was cool,” said Florea. “It was a dream of a lifetime happened. It was a fair explosion to be there and get this experience for the first time.”

While Floriea spoke in the cramped section of the visitor’s locker room where the Brown The wide receivers were located, Kaden Davis tried to find his way through the crowd to his own locker. For Davis, the thrill of this first NFL match came and spent years before, when he made 10 games for the Denver Broncos In their first pre-season match in 2022.
Since then. Davis had rebounded the training squad to practice the team – Denver in 2022, the Arizona cardinals In 2023, the Detroit lions And back in Denver – before Cleveland signed him on December 10, 2024. He signed on the active list one day before the end of their season in Baltimore. Crows.
Nine months later, however, and Davis is in the mix of winning his first place in the training camp. What he did against Caroline during the pre-season opener only gave him another opportunity to support this assertion.
“It’s a very humiliating league, so whenever you have the opportunity to go out on this ground … Put your best foot forward and see what’s going on. Try to make the most of it,” said Davis.

The two touchdown went to Davis, as part of a 23 yards of 23 yards for the 26 -year -old.
“It was great,” said Davis. “I’m just going there, make a hat that I’m ready to do, playing games when my number is called.”
Floriea had no touched with her catches. However, he may have the culmination of the night, helping to set up a TD.
Sanders moved away from pressure just before the two-minute warning in the first half when he launched a sequence at Floriea, which led a corner route with the safety of Latham safety. Floriea put her left hand and pulled the pass, while being able to descend the two feet for completion.

“Yeah, I’m just excited for everyone,” said Sanders after the match. “… But yes, it’s great to know that it is able to go out here and make a show how it is supposed to do it and how we know that it can. But we still need a few more receivers and they can go down.”

Davis and Floriea are part of a competition to fill the rest of the Browns reception body after Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman and Jamari Thrash. Davis and Floriea join the Gage Larvadain recruit to be part of the stars of the training camp in the passes capture group.
Larvadain played the maximum of three against Caroline, with 39 offensive snaps and three on special teams. He also had 23 yards on two catches, as well as a TD race of 4 yards on a jet scan and two returns for an an average of 19 yards.
The three – assuming no long -term impact on the part of injuries in Caroline – will not have another chance to make a name for himself in Philadelphia this week.
