Home is where the heart is and for Carlos Hyde, Ohio is home.
After all, it wasn't that long ago when Hyde was Ohio State’s star running back, endearing himself to fans in Columbus and across the state in the process.
Because of that, Hyde -- the former 49ers standout who officially signed with the Browns Thursday afternoon -- is happy to come back to the Buckeye State after four years on the West Coast. Equally important, he said, is the chance to leave a mark in Cleveland as the franchise tries to bounce back from its first-ever winless season.
