Kevin Stefanski discusses the Browns' 24-22 win over the Ravens: Transcript  - cleveland.com

Browns agreement With the 2 Players During Senior Bowl meeting was successful but…

As part of a fantastic and revamped Pro Bowl weekend, the annual Senior Bowl was held yesterday.

The Cleveland Browns, along with every other team in the NFL, had personnel on-site to evaluate the talent.

While there were dozens of great players showing off their talents, there were two in particular that stood out to the Browns, with the first being quarterback John Rhys Plumlee (via Crissy Froyd on Twitter)

Plumlee has had a long, storied, and interesting college career.

He started his career at Ole Miss but transferred to the University of Central Florida for his final two years of eligibility.

Plumlee is one of the most athletic quarterbacks in the draft this year, and he has also played some wide receiver for the UCF Knights.

In addition to being a promising quarterback/wide receiver prospect, Plumlee was also a starting outfielder for the Knights, putting him with the ranks of Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson in terms of being two-sport stars.

The second player that the Browns were very interested in at the Senior Bowl was edge rusher Nelson Ceasar of the Houston Cougars (via Aaron Wilson on Twitter).

He was one of the top edge rushers for the Cougars during his tenure with the team and capped an impressive senior season with 9.5 sacks and 43 tackles.

Pass rushers and hybrid athletes are two of the hottest commodities in the NFL right now.

While Ceasar’s use would be fairly straightforward, Plumlee would likely serve as a Taysom Hill-style player when he’s in the game and be a constant threat to throw, catch, or run the ball.

With the 2023 NFL season over, save for the Super Bowl, PFF has started to name their studs and duds for the season.

One of their more interesting categories of studs includes a member of the Cleveland Browns.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, a third-year linebacker for the team, was named by PFF as a secret superstar of the AFC North (via PFF on Twitter).

Owusu-Koramoah had a breakout year this year for the Browns.

He joins Justice Hill of the Ravens, Jaylen Warren of the Steelers, and Jordan Battle of the Bengals as the secret superstars of the AFC North.

On the year, Owusu-Koramoah finished with 101 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and two interceptions.

Considering he only had 146 tackles and 1.5 sacks in his first two seasons combined, Owusu-Koramoah certainly seemed to come into his own this year.

In addition to an impressive statistical season, Owusu-Koramoah was always a spark on defense and affected nearly every play, particularly in the running game.

If Owusu-Koramoah didn’t get the tackle himself, he often redirected the ball carrier to change directions, opening up the game for his teammates to make plays.
