2018 Draft: Austin Corbett eager for reunion with Joel Bitonio in Cleveland

Browns guard showed the ropes back when they were teammates at Nevada.

Now reunited in Cleveland, Corbett — the 33rd overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft — is looking forward to learning some more from one of his favorite players.

“He was a senior my redshirt year at Nevada,” said Corbett, who walked on to the program in 2013. “As a walk-on, I was just watching him, trying to look at every single thing he did because I knew the type of player he was and the type of person he was.”

Corbett, who started 48 games at left tackle after Bitonio was drafted by the Browns in 2014, gives Cleveland a versatile, tough player on an offensive line still trying to figure how to best replace future Hall-of-Famer Joe Thomas.
