The Browns have hired Alonzo Highsmith as their new vice president of player personnel.
Here are five things to know:
1. Highsmith, who spent the past 19 seasons with the Green Bay Packers’ personnel department, including the past six as a senior personnel executive, will be effectively reunited with new Browns general manager John Dorsey. The pair worked together for 13 years in Green Bay before Dorsey, who was hired by Cleveland last month, took over as the Chiefs’ general manager in 2013.
2. Like Dorsey, Highsmith got his start under former Packers executive and Pro Football Hall of Famer Ron Wolf.
