Vocal rookie Charles Gaines quietly finding his way with the Browns

Want to know who Cleveland Browns rookie cornerback Charles Gaines is as a person? Watch him interact with youth football players at a Play 60 Youth Football Clinic. Gaines’ whimsical personality is on full display.

He’s encouraging kids to bust out their best touchdown dance, enthusiastically clapping and making up secret handshakes on the fly. He’s also pushing the young football players to compete harder than the guy next to him. Gaines is the opposite of shy.

Former teammates of Gaines at Louisville said that frisky energy is a large part of how the cornerback plays football.
