Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is taking heat for his lack of production this season, and he responded with a message on social media.
Jeudy is coming off a Pro Bowl campaign in which he set career highs with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. But he hasn’t come close to that level in 2025. Jeudy has managed just 32 receptions for 395 yards and a single score, logging three or fewer catches in seven games.
The Browns rolled to a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Jeudy was once again a non-factor. His lone contribution was a 39-yard grab, and even that ended poorly. Jeudy slowed up with multiple defenders closing in and was stripped from behind, wiping a potential scoring opportunity off the board.
“He will be better. That’s really a play that we expect him to make. That’s a huge play for our football team,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said on Monday. “We were about to get seven points, if not three on that drive and that’s a big play for us, and Jerry knows this. And, you know, we remind him and remind our players. It’s always the guy that you can’t see that they’re coming. So, I don’t think it was a loaf. It was a lack of ball security technique.”

With criticism piling up, Jeudy jumped on social media with a motivational message. He shared a photo of what looked like a fortune-cookie slip that read, “Challenges will only fuel your success.”
Browns WR Jerry Jeudy Appeared Frustrated With Losses Piling Up
It was an unusual week for Jeudy leading into the game. In his only media appearance, the wideout kept his answers short and offered little substance, fueling speculation about his mindset. Stefanski downplayed the concern, insisting Jeudy is still locked in and just frustrated with the Browns’ 3-8 record.
“I think Jerry’s got the right attitude. He wants to win,” Stefanski said. “Obviously, when you’re not winning, that certainly can affect your mood, if you can imagine. But he’s focused on winning.”
The Browns are counting on Jeudy to be their No. 1 wideout, especially with the team lacking proven depth at the position. Cleveland traded for Jeudy ahead of last season and quickly signed him to a three-year, $58 million extension, betting on his upside. He rewarded that faith with a breakout season last year, but he hasn’t been able to recapture that level of production so far.
Jerry Jeudy Can Benefit From Browns QB Stability
One thing that could help get Jeudy back on track is finally getting some stability under center. He’s already caught passes from three different quarterbacks this season, and that revolving door hasn’t done his rhythm any favors. Now he’s trying to build something with Shedeur Sanders, the latest QB to get a shot, but that connection is still very early in the process.
Sanders has acknowledged that chemistry is a hurdle he’s still trying to clear with the starting offense, Jeudy included. After replacing Dillon Gabriel in Week 11 against the Ravens, Sanders admitted that his late connection with Jeudy might have been their first real rep together all year.
“I think there are a lot of things we need to look at during the week and just get comfortable, even throwing routes with Jerry and throwing routes with all those guys,” Sanders said on Nov. 16. “I like knowing every detail about my receivers. I like knowing the small things, what they’re good at, what they’re not good at. There are so many details that helps me play confident with those guys.”
Sanders has been named the starter for Week 13 for the Browns’ matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.
