Browns' Dawand Jones Told Teams Prior to NFL Draft His Dream Was to Play in NBA

Between Myles Garrett and Dawand Jones, the Cleveland Browns might be assembling the best basketball squad in the NFL.

The MMQB's Albert Breer reported Tuesday that "Jones's predraft process went as sideways as possible." One reason is that he told teams he once dreamed of playing in the NBA rather than the NFL.

Prior to attending Ohio State, Jones played basketball during high school in Indiana.

According to Cleveland.com's Nathan Baird, he once approached his Buckeyes coaches about joining the OSU basketball team. He also had scholarship offers from MAC schools to play basketball.
