Browns coach Hue Jackson loves what he inherited at running back.

Jackson said on 92.3 The Fan that last year’s 1-2 punch of Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson are good enough that the Browns didn’t need to sign or draft another running back.

“Those two guys are as good as I’ve seen in a while,” Jackson said, via Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “Their talent is extreme.”

So far they haven’t shown that extreme talent: Crowell carried 185 times for 706 yards and four touchdowns last season, while Johnson added 104 carries for 379 yards, with no touchdowns. That’s why Jackson is getting a lot of questions about why the Browns didn’t upgrade at the position.

“I’ve been getting so much mail or phones calls with people saying, ‘Well wait a minute, why don’t you guys have a running back?”’ he said. “I really think Isaiah Crowell is a really good running back. I think he’s going to have a sensational season, I really do.”

Crowell is 23 years old and Johnson is 22, so both players have plenty of time to improve. Jackson sounds confident that they will.
