For the most part, he played adequately. He's an NFL left tackle.
turn
If he's there at No. 12, we'll turn that one in. I don't think he's going to be there.
admire known pittsburgh taken
He's not a cookie-cutter receiver. He's a little different, and that's one thing I admire about what Pittsburgh has done. They've taken a Randle El and a Hines Ward and have known what to do with those guys. They've been creative.

atmosphere browns enjoyed fans generation lost winning
In my opinion, there's a lost generation of Browns fans out there. They haven't enjoyed the feel-good atmosphere of having a quality, winning product. That is really our objective.

He brings a tremendous amount of credibility to our team.
adds browns hopefully mistakes reminder repeat serves steve time valuable
He adds a lot because he's been here the whole time the Browns have been back. We hopefully won't repeat the same mistakes that have been made in the past. Steve serves as a reminder of what some of those were. He's been a really valuable resource.
