The 10th of Cleveland’s 12 players selected in the 2015 NFL Draft participated in his first practice this week. Understandably, the fanfare was minimal, but it meant absolutely everything to Randall Telfer.
The sixth-round tight end injured his foot in his final game at USC. He underwent surgery in late February after the NFL Combine, a procedure that put his already tenuous draft status in peril. Whichever team drafted him would have to wait until early November to see him back on the football field.
The Browns were that team, and Telfer’s been a mainstay inside the facility from Day 1.
