To be fair to Malachi Corley, it can't have been the easiest year.
In late August, the New York Jets cut him. He had just been a third-round pick in 2024. He couldn't have really seen that coming.
It was still amusing to see what Corley was bragging about on social media on Monday.
Corley led the NFL in a stat this season: rushing yards by a wide receiver.

The Browns made good use of Corley as a rusher in various jet sweep plays to allow him to total 127 rushing yards, ahead of Dolphins wideout Malik Washington as the runner-up in this stat at 110 yards.
It took just 13 runs for Corley to run for 127 yards, which works out to 9.8 yards per run.
Corley also had 11 catches for 79 yards, 7.2 yards per reception.

At 23 years old, Corley may have made a future for himself with the Browns by proving his explosiveness.
Cleveland needs all the talent it can get, and given that the Browns found real usefulness for Corley, he might just get to stick around.
