Leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft, Greg Newsome was a name effectively locked in to be picked in the first round. That proposition became reality when Andrew Berry made Newsome the newest member of the Cleveland Browns at pick 26.
Although Newsome has yet to sign his rookie contract, it’s all systems go for the consensus First-Team All-Big Ten corner. Newsome is joining an upstart Browns squad fresh off of their first playoff appearance in 18 years, with aspirations as high as the Lombardi Trophy.
Just as I did with Rashawn Slater, I’ll be breaking down the matchups to hone in on as Newsome begins what figures to be a lengthy and successful professional career.
