The Cleveland Browns selected Washington defensive lineman Danny Shelton with the 12th pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Shelton greeted NFL commissioner Roger Goodell with a bear hug on the stage at Chicago's Roosevelt Theatre before posing with a new Browns jersey.
Shelton finished his senior season with 93 tackles, good for second on the team. He was 14th in the nation with 16.5 tackles for loss, 19th with nine sacks and all alone at the top with five fumble recoveries.
“It’s all the hard work and got to thank the man upstairs for blessing me with this incredible season,” Shelton told ClevelandBrowns.
