When the Cleveland Browns cut John Greco at the end of the preseason no one would have batted an eye if the veteran offensive lineman had called it a career. He had played nine years for the Browns and St. Louis Rams, starting 70 of the 111 games he had played in.
No matter what, Greco had had a good NFL career.
Still, he felt like he didn’t have football out of his system yet. Greco’s 2016 season had ended after 12 games because of a Lisfranc injury. He didn’t want to have his career end that way, so he did what he had to do to get ready for training camp with the Browns.
