The Cleveland Browns are going to let a pair of fans help call plays during the preseason.

According to FootballScoop.com, the Browns are auctioning off the chance for two fans to help put the first 15 plays of a preseason game together as part of the “All In Challenge.” (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

The charity drive has raised more than $45 million for people in need during the coronavirus pandemic. The Browns are the latest group to get involved.

There have been a lot of interesting ways people have gotten involved with the challenge, but this might be the best one so far.

Fans always debate whether or not they could stack up with actual coaches and coordinators. I’ve had that debate more times than I can count.

Now two fans will get the chance to actually put their knowledge to the test. It’s only 15 plays, but that can set the tone of the whole game.

Obviously, if I’m calling plays, we’re not handing the ball off one time. It’s going to be airing it out and RPOs nonstop.

Is that great for player safety in a preseason game? Probably not, but I’m willing to risk it to get the job done. If you’re spending the money, you should get to call the plays as you see fit.

We’re running the spread option and four verticals every other play!
