The team expended a fourth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft to select York out of LSU.
He started his NFL career in the most perfect way, with a game-winning 58-yard field goal against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 of the 2022 season.

York was the toast of the town, but inconsistency crept in, especially during the 2023 preseason with his field goal attempts.
Cade York preseason stats:
FGs: 4/8
(officially, 4/9 not counting penalties)
XPs: 5/5
(Officially, 5/6 not including penalties)Not dependable outside of 30 yards or on the hashmarks.
Some things aren’t meant to be in life, & York w/ the #Browns is a perfect example. #DawgPound— A Dude Called Parker | CW: Bleach (@adcparker) August 26, 2023
It seemed as though the team was gritting its teeth and waiting for York to work through his issues.
The Browns lost two preseason games by a combined 3 points and tied another one.
In each of those games, Cade York missed a field goal which would’ve changed the outcome in Cleveland’s favor.
All the chips are on the table this year: that’s not acceptable.#Browns

Hopkins has eight NFL seasons under his belt with two teams, the Washington Commanders and the Los Angeles Chargers.
