The Browns have successfully signed all six of their draft picks to contracts. The latest signing was defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr., who inked a four-year deal with the team on Friday. Hall, who was chosen in the second round as the 54th overall pick, hails from Streetsboro, Ohio, and played college football at Ohio State. With his Ohio roots, Hall is likely to feel right at home as he begins his NFL career in Cleveland.
During his time at Ohio State, Hall amassed 45 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, six sacks, and a fumble recovery in 28 games for the Buckeyes.
In addition to Hall, the Browns have a competitive group of defensive linemen vying for playing time. Shelby Harris, Dalvin Tomlinson, Quinton Jefferson, Maurice Hurst, Siaki Ika, and seventh-rounder Jowan Briggs are all in the mix to contribute on the interior of the line.
With a solid mix of veteran experience and youthful talent, the Browns are looking to strengthen their defensive front and make an impact on the field in the upcoming season.
