Fuzzy-leaved black-eyed (or maybe brown-eyed) susans volunteered in yard

In the early season I noticed some interesting volunteer plants in the yard.  I left some to grow in the edge of the tomato bed, and put a couple on the south edge of the central bed.  They're all about 3 feet tall now, and with nice yellow flowers, with a brownish/burgundyish central, and the leaves are fuzzy and soft.  I think they're a variety of black-eyed susans (or brown-eyed susans in this case) but I was thrown off at first because the black-eyed susans in the front bed aren't fuzzy at all.  But this forum says they come in a wide variety, including fuzzy or smooth leaves:
