CLEVELAND, Ohio - There is a new rookie record for the Browns organization.

Harold Fannin Jr. set the record for the highest number of receptions by a Browns rookie. He successfully caught 4 passes for 34 yards, along with one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills on December 21, and now becomes a part of the Cleveland Browns' history.  

"Obviously, I just wanna say I'm grateful, and I just wanna thank my coaches and my teammates for allowing me to go do something like that," Fannin Jr. said in a post-game interview. 

He passes Kevin Johnson's record of 66 set in 1999.

Fannin Jr. graduated from Canton McKinley High School in Canton, Ohio, in 2022. He then committed to play college football at Bowling Green University, where his transition to tight end would begin.

He was drafted in the 2025 NFL Draft with the 67th overall pick.
