It was a bit surprising that former Notre Dame football star linebacker [autotag]Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah[/autotag] fell to the second round of the NFL draft.
His final year in South Bend was an epic one, where he won the Butkus Award and was a unanimous All-American. You would have thought that a resume like JOK’s would make him a day one pick, but what the rest of the NFL’s loss was the Browns gain.
Owusu-Koramoah has been fantastic at the highest level, earning praise as a rookie and finally breaking through this past year with his first Pro Bowl selection. The Browns saw all they needed to and signed him to a 3-year contact on Wednesday.

He gets a 3-year deal worth up to $39M with $25M guaranteed in a deal negotiated by CAA that gets the 24-year old back to the table quickly. pic.twitter.com/O5fTz8fDNv
