Tyvis Powell is home and he can hardly believe it.

The Browns picked up the Bedford native and former Ohio State safety last month in what he described as a “fairy tale come true.”

“It just never happens this way,” Powell, laughing, told Cleveland Browns Daily n a wide-ranging interview on Tuesday. But the joy of returning to Northeast Ohio was preceded by a brief period of uncertainty.

Powell, who spent his rookie season with the Seahawks, was cut days before the postseason to make room for veteran returner Devin Hester. He took it in stride, but naturally wondered what was next and whether a club would pick him up.
