Brian Sipe named Cleveland Browns biggest draft steal of all-time

With the 2019 NFL Draft just around the corner, many outlets are looking back at how teams have done historically in past drafts. That was the case with Doug Farrar of USA Today’s Touchdown Wire who named the biggest draft steal of all-time for every NFL franchise.

When he got to the Cleveland Browns, he named former quarterback Brian Sipe who was the 330th player selected overall — in the 13th round — of the 1972 draft.

After a couple of seasons on the practice squad, Sipe found his way to the roster and then became their starting quarterback.
