Starting with Denzel Ward in 2018, the Browns have drafted five former Buckeyes in the last seven NFL drafts. They also signed Ronnie Hickman as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and have just signed veteran linebacker Jerome Baker, giving them six former Buckeyes on their roster.

Don't expect quarterback Cam Ward to land with the Cleveland Browns unless he falls to No. 2. Cleveland general manager, Andrew Berry, told reporters on Sunday at the NFL annual meeting that it's "unlikely" the Browns will make a deal with the Tennessee Titans to land the top overall pick.
