Cribbs Named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month

CLEVELAND (AP) — Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs’ league-leading 549 kickoff return yards earned him the AFC special teams player of the month award Wednesday.

Cribbs routinely sets up the offense with excellent field position and he’s been a big factor in the Browns’ surprising 2-2 start. He leads the NFL with a 34.3 kickoff return average.

Cribbs, who joined the Browns in 2005 as an undrafted rookie out of Kent State, ran 99 yards for a touchdown Sept. 23 against Oakland.

He needs 49 yards to pass Dino Hall (3,185) as the franchise’s all-time leader in kickoff return yards.
