The Browns selected Southern California inside linebacker Hayes Pullard in the seventh round (No. 219 overall) of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Here is a breakdown of the 6-foot- 1/2, 240-pound Pullard from NFLDraftScout.com analyst Dane Brugler's draft guide:
BACKGROUND: A four-star running back/linebacker recruit out of high school, Hayes “HP” Pullard held scholarship offers from every Pac-12 program, committing to USC and redshirting in 2010 after a knee injury. He stayed on defense and earned the starting nod at WILL linebacker in 2011, leading the team in total tackles (81) and earning All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention honors.
