David Njoku’s draft day in 2017 was a rollercoaster of emotions. While eagerly awaiting the call that would change his life, he received an unexpected and unwelcome phone call from a friend inquiring about an after-party. Njoku’s frustration was palpable, as he had been patiently waiting for the call from the NFL. Moments later, the call he had been longing for finally came, with the Cleveland Browns selecting him in the first round.
Njoku’s journey with the Browns began with a setback when he suffered severe burns during an accident at a barbecue party. However, he展现出惊人的韧性和决心，仅在事故两天后就重返赛场。上个赛季，他表现出色，接球81次，推进882码，达阵6次。他的接球数位列布朗队上赛季之首，也是布朗队历史上紧接阵球员单赛季第五高的接球数。布朗队在上赛季也获得了季后赛资格，而Njoku的6次接球达阵领先全队。
