SALT LAKE CITY — The winding road for Sione Takitaki to the NFL finally has a destination: Cleveland.
The former BYU linebacker was selected by the Browns in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft Friday. He was the 81st overall pick.
“Takitaki is a great human story who watched his game take off last season and went from an ungraded prospect to a potential mid-round choice. He's a three-down defender as a traditional weakside linebacker and will only improve with experience,” Draft Analyst’s Tony Pauline wrote.
