The Cleveland Browns addressed several positions in free agency – wide receiver, defensive line, quarterback, tight end and cornerback.
But pass rusher wasn’t one of them. Why not? Perhaps the Browns had their eyes set on a prized college prospect the entire time.
Enter Nate Orchard, Cleveland’s second-round pick from Utah. Orchard sacked the quarterback 18.5 times in 2014, ranking second in the FBS.
“That’s just my thing,” Orchard said. “I just want to get home, get to the quarterback. That’s the head of the snake right there.”
The Browns showed interest as early as possible in Orchard.
