If Nate Burleson can make this delivery in 30 minutes or less, he really is a pro.

According to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports, the former Lions receiver is scheduled to visit the Browns Saturday.

He’s visiting the Dolphins first, as he looks for work. His last two seasons in Detroit were marred by injury, missing 17 games the last two seasons, including a pizza-protecting broken arm.

On the surface, he makes more sense in Cleveland, as the Dolphins are deeper at wide receiver.

With the Browns, his presence alone would help Josh Gordon and rookie quarterback TBA with a little maturity and balance.
