Former Ohio State tackle Dawand Jones signs rookie contract with Browns

||

The Cleveland Browns have now signed all seven of their 2023 draft picks. The final piece of the class being fourth-round pick and former Ohio State offensive tackle, Dawand Jones.

After some prognosticators saw Jones as a potential late first-round pick, the big man was still available early on day three of the draft. The Browns saw the potential in the former Buckeye with his huge frame and excellent play in Scarlet and Gray.

There were rumors that Jones’ draft stock tumbled because of weight issues as well as a story of NBA dreams. Jones put that rumor to rest questioning where people even come up with this kind of stuff.

We have signed T Dawand Jones.
