Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu was viewed heading into last season as a first-round draft pick. A severe knee injury changed that significantly.
Ekpre-Olomu was finally taken in the seventh round, when the Browns selected him with the 241st overall pick.
When Ekpre-Olomu agreed to return for his senior season at Oregon instead of entering last year’s draft, Oregon agreed to buy him a $40,000 insurance policy, which may now result in a $3 million payout because Ekpre-Olomu lasted past the third round of the draft. That may be some consolation to Ekpre-Olomu.
