Freddie Kitchens Says WR Antonio Callaway Reported to Camp Out of Shape
By Adam Weinrib
It must be hard to believe you're being groomed to be a WR1 in the future, then watch your team acquire Odell Beckham Jr.
But that's still no reason at all to show up unprepared.
According to new Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens, wideout Antonio Callaway arrived at camp this year in Berea looking less than stellar, and so Kitchens went public with his gripes to the media.
We're not sure we should've expected any different from the former Florida Gator, who had his fair share of run-ins with the authorities during his time in Gainesville, then had to publicly cop to a marijuana charge last summer when he was caught while "Hard Knocks" was in production.
Kitchens is also the type of coach to make his crew run gassers after a training camp fight, so you know he's examining every piece of conditioning with a fine-toothed comb.
There's also plenty of talent in place, and high expectations aplenty in Cleveland, so you can forgive Kitchens for trying to improve at the margins.
Chalk this one up as another misstep in a long line of them from someone looking to show off his straight-line speed.
