Diversity is a hot topic this year in the National Football League. The issue was brought to the forefront by the staggering lack of persons of color occupying head coaching and front office jobs in the league currently. Less than a week ago the Cleveland Browns hired 32-year-old Andrew Berry as their general manager and vice president of football operations.
Not only is Berry the youngest person to hold the job in NFL history, but he’s also one of only two current African American general managers in the league.
The Browns, though turbulent at best, have had a great recent history of diversity hires, especially since returning in 1999.
