Browns signed WR Aaron Anderson.

28 April 2026

Anderson (5’8”/191) is an undersized receiver whose best season came in 2024 when he caught 53 passes for 784 yards and five touchdowns. A solid player after the catch, Anderson made his living in the slot, where he played on 90.6 percent of his career snaps, per PFF. His numbers fell off a cliff in 2025 (33-398-0), due in part to injuries to both him and his quarterback, who played through an injury for most of the season. With an underwhelming 47.4 contested catch rate for his career, it’s no surprise that Anderson’s height works against him when forced to battle for possession, and he dropped a career-high 10.8 percent of his passes last season. Anderson’s 4.58 40-yard dash leaves much to be desired given his size, but he still finds ways to create after the catch. He has limited experience as a return man (seven career kick/punt returns), but could try his hand at returning in camp in hopes of earning a roster spot as a depth piece. The Browns are a great place for any UDFA wideout to make hay as things stand, but obviously Anderson is well behind their other rookie wideouts on the depth chart.
