The advice former Kent State cornerback Najee Murray received from Browns legend Josh Cribbs must have been pretty good.
After speaking with Cribbs, Murray spent this past weekend participating in rookie minicamp on a tryout basis and impressed the Browns enough to earn a contract.
The team announced Monday it signed Murray and fellow undrafted defensive back Donte Carey, a former Grand Valley State safety and cornerback who also tried out during rookie minicamp.
Murray told the Beacon Journal on Saturday he talked to Cribbs about his audition with the Browns. After playing quarterback for Kent State, Cribbs joined the Browns in 2005 as an undrafted free agent and went on to become one of the best kick returners in NFL history.
