John Dorsey: Browns Are 'Iconic' Franchise; 'Let's Reawake This Sleeping Giant'

The Cleveland Browns hired John Dorsey as their new general manager Thursday, and the former architect of the Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time waxing poetic about the potential of the franchise at his introductory press conference Friday.

After referring to the club as "iconic," according to Andrew Gribble of the team's official website, Dorsey said it's time to "reawake this sleeping giant" as the Browns embark on a quest to rise from the AFC North cellar and into a tier of more respected contenders.

"To me, that's exciting," Dorsey said of the taking over as GM, per the Akron Beacon Journal's Nate Ulrich.
