The Browns selected UCLA wide receiver Jordan Payton in the fifth round (No. 154 overall) of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
Here are notes on the 6-foot-1 1/8, 207-pound Payton from NFLDraftScout.com analyst Dane Brugler's draft guide:
BACKGROUND: A four-star wide receiver recruit out of high school, Payton had a tough time making his college choice, initially committing to USC then California and then Washington before ultimately choosing UCLA on signing day. He started four games as a true freshman in 2012 and recorded 18 catches for 202 yards and one touchdown. Payton became a full-time starter as a sophomore and finished with 38 receptions for 440 yards and one score.
