After earning a chance to try out at their rookie minicamp, the Cleveland Browns announced the signing of former Virginia wide receiver Darius Jennings among a handful of others. Shortly after that, Virginia football's official Twitter account sent a congratulatory message Jennings' way.

Congrats to @djennings_cav6 who signed with the @Browns after last weekend's rookie mini/camp! #GoHoos #HoosInTheNFL

Jennings, who the Browns list as 5-foot-10 and only 169 pounds, will have a chance to earn a job as Cleveland's kick returner after thriving in that role at Virginia.
