Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson is taking a page from the college ranks to turn things around in 2018.
Per ESPN.com's Pat McManamon, Jackson said he is making his players earn the brown and white stripes that normally run down the middle of the team's helmets:
"There is a certain way that the Cleveland Browns have to play, and we are going to earn our stripes. The guys that put them on their helmets and get the chance to wear them, it is going to be because they demonstrate the characteristics that we are looking for in Cleveland Browns players.
