Browns Former CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu Unlikely Target For Steelers

The Cleveland Browns parted ways with young cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu on Saturday and the former seventh-round draft pick’s NFL future is now in question.

Ekpre-Olomu, who might have been a second or third-round draft pick last year had he not suffered a serious knee injury during a practice prior to the 2015 Rose Bowl, was waived Saturday by the Browns with the non-football injury designation. Based on the time of season and the designation attached to Ekpre-Olomu, it’s probably a good chance that his NFL career is over before it even got starred.

The Browns had selected Ekpre-Olomu in the seventh round of the 2015 NFL Draft with hopes that he could rebound from his knee injury that included a torn ACL and dislocated knee bone.
