BEREA, Ohio—This Day 1 wasn’t unlike a lot of others in this corner of suburban Cleveland.
There was the year the Browns had 28-year-old first-round quarterback Brandon Weeden. The year Johnny Manziel arrived. The year Baker Mayfield got here. The year Odell Beckham Jr. came on board. New coach after new coach. Lots of hopes that ended up dashed.
And that’s just in the last decade alone.
So the fact that all eyes are on the Browns at the start of a new training camp, when 28 of 32 teams opened for business on Wednesday, is hardly new.
