Over the course of the last couple of weeks, general manager Ray Farmer and the Cleveland Browns have hosted 30 NFL draft prospects inside the team facility in Berea, and the message has been clear.
“The National Football League is different than college football,” Farmer told the media Thursday during his pre-draft press conference. “You come into an organization, you make friends, you have friends, but at the end of the day you are here to take that guy in front of you’s job.”
Farmer’s message isn’t just words, either.
Last year, the acquisition of free agent running back Ben Tate was viewed as a move that automatically made the former Texan the full-time starter in Cleveland.
