Former Browns NFL draft bust gets second chance in NFL

Jared Mueller a lifelong Browns fan from Sandusky, Ohio who serves as the Producer for Dawgs By Nature and has been covering the Cleveland Browns for over a decade including at FanSided, The OBR and USA Today.

The list of NFL draft busts for every team is pretty long, but the Cleveland Browns have seemed to corner the market. If it is not a draft bust, it is a trade down that leads to regret even over a decade later.

DT Perrion Winfrey was supposed to be different. Many thought the Browns got a steal with Winfrey, a Senior Bowl standout, who was expected to be drafted in the second round by many but fell to the fourth round.
