The Cleveland Browns made the playoffs and won a playoff game last year with Baker Mayfield performing well. Once again the hype around the Browns and fans is brewing, even more after the return of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

The former New York Giants star got traded to the Browns and underwhelmed in his second season with the Browns. He finished the year with just 23 catches for 319 yards and three scores and played just seven games after suffering an injury.

But, the Browns wrapped up their preseason against the Atlanta Falcons, and Beckham was back to his pregame routine once again.

Yeah, Beckham can still make highlight-reel catches, and the Mayfield-Beckham dup should be able to achieve big things if he can stay healthy. Sure, it is just pregame and preseason, but it is nice to see Odell Beckham Jr. doing his regular thing again after struggling in his season with the Browns.

Could this be the year he returns to superstar form? Don't count it out by any means. The Browns kick off their regular season in a couple of weeks, and the hype is really in Cleveland, which isn't exactly a phrase they are used to. Get ready, he is back!
