BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- The newest member of the Browns arrived in a limousine, signed his contract and suited up in front of his locker.
Dylan Sutcliffe then headed out to the practice field, where the 9-year-old boy with a rare disease that affects the nervous system lived out his dream of joining his favorite NFL team.
The visit on Tuesday was arranged by the Browns and Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
Browns coach Mike Pettine says Dylan shares the team's ideals of passion and toughness.
Dylan has ataxia telangiectasia (uh-TAX-ee-uh te-LANGE'-ee-ek-tay-juh), which makes it difficult to coordinate movements and often weakens a person's immune system.
