NFL Draft: Browns Find Great Value in Drafting Shon Coleman in 3rd Round

With the 76th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns selected former Auburn offensive lineman Shon Coleman. The cancer survivor shared his exciting day at the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital where Coleman battled cancer for nearly two years.

Other than getting a fighter and a great guy off the field, the Browns are receiving someone who can step in and make an impact right away on either side of the line. Getting Coleman in the third round is a great value pick for Cleveland.

Browns Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Sashi Brown said that Coleman will come in and compete for playing time on the right side of the offensive line right away.
