On being the No. 1 overall pick and how he won over the Browns:
“First of all, an unbelievable feeling, a surreal feeling; something that I only could have dreamed of and actually becoming a reality is amazing. I am so thankful that I am here. Throughout meeting and talking with the coaching staff, they were a great group of guys from the management to the owners. Just being around them, being myself and being upfront about the mistakes that I have made and what I have learned throughout the process. Also, the one great part about the interview process is that you get to sit down and talk football and show what you are capable of knowing as they quiz you on certain things.
