Scottish Hammer adds spice to Cleveland Browns special teams competition

Your Cleveland Browns have signed the Scottish Hammer, a.ka. Jamie Gillan, a converted rugby player from the British Isles who learned how to kick footballs for prodigious distances. The canny lad will challenge veteran punter Britton Colquitt to be the first string punter for the Browns.

Gillan was born in England and grew up in Scotland and was dubbed the Scottish Hammer by his Coach, Cedrid Thomas of the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions, in the Southwest Athletic Conference.

So who is this fellow? Fortunately, we have Browns superfan Paul Brown (not related to the Coach) who was able to provide an interview with Gillan on The Paul Brown Podcast Episode 267, dated April 30, 2019.
