Curtis Weaver’s rookie season came to an end basically before he had a chance to get going.
A fifth-round selection by the Miami Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft, Weaver found himself on waivers in late August with a toe injury. While there were reports that the Dolphins were planning to re-sign Weaver, Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry put an end to that by claiming Weaver.
It is easy to see the attraction, as the 6-foot-2 and 265-pound Weaver was the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year as a redshirt junior with Boise State in 2019, and finished his collegiate career as the conference’s career leader in sacks with 34.
