Dustin Hopkins had a difficult 2024 season, especially in November and December. The kicker is starting with a clean slate from the Browns in 2025.

BEREA — The second year of Dustin Hopkins kicking for the Browns was not a carbon copy ... things contribute and matter, but we’re clean slate. I feel like he’s in a good space mentally.

Just consider Hopkins' career-average numbers: He's an average kicker overall ... the corner in August, the Browns can't afford to continue to believe this "clean slate" approach.
