Newsome, JOK laud comradery, connection within Browns

Despite the, seeming, never-ending drama around the team, Newsome and JOK shared their experience so far with the Browns in this podcast excerpt:

The Cleveland Browns have seemed to be a drama-filled organization for the better part of two decades since their return to the NFL. From coaching and front office changes to the myriad of characters that have passed through the building, the Browns have had negative story after negative story on and off the field for years.

The number of stories written about the likes of Josh Gordon, Johnny Manziel, Hue Jackson, Freddie Kitchens and, of course, Jimmy Haslam have filled many websites for years.

In 2021, much of that drama surrounded the relationship between QB Baker Mayfield and WR Odell Beckham Jr. That ended with Beckham being released.

This offseason, the acquisition of QB Deshaun Watson with his, now, 23 civil lawsuits pending against him, and the likely departure of Mayfield continues the drama with the Watson allegations being much more serious than anything else noted.

Despite all of this, CB Greg Newsome II and LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had nothing but great things to say about the team’s comradery and connection last year and even so far this offseason. In this teaser for Varsity House Podcast, both defenders noted the culture on the team:

We look forward to hearing more about what Newsome and Owusu-Koramoah had to say on the podcast when the full episode is released later this week.
