Twitter reacts: Browns pick UGA DB Richard LeCounte

The Cleveland Browns selected former Georgia Bulldogs safety Richard LeCounte in the fifth round and Twitter reacted

The Cleveland Browns selected former Georgia Bulldogs safety Richard LeCounte in the fifth round with the 169th pick. LeCounte is one of the most productive defensive backs in Georgia football history.

Richard LeCounte is a playmaker on defense. The Browns are getting a big-hitter who causes a lot of turnovers. In fact, LeCounte forced a dozen turnovers over his final three seasons at the University of Georgia.

LeCounte was involved in a motorcycle accident that kept him out for the latter part of 2020 season and caused him to fall in the 2021 NFL draft. Now, the former five-star recruit out of Liberty County High School will look to continue his recovery and prepare for the 2021 NFL season.

The Cleveland Browns are getting a steal in LeCounte. Browns fans have a lot to look forward to for the upcoming season.

Here’s how social media reacted as the Cleveland Browns drafted Richard LeCounte:

If and when Grant Delpit gets past his Achilles’ heel injury, the Browns could quietly have one of the most effective drafts of 2020 – at least so far. This one has the potential to be more of the same, but there should be a little more flash even though the defensive line needs the most work.

It’s about getting younger, stronger, and deeper on the defensive front.. The chance should be there at the 26 to get either a sliding edge rusher – or reach a wee bit for one – or have a chance at a top defensive tackle. It’s a light year for interior linemen, but if Alabama’s Christian Barmore falls here, it could be him over a decent pass rusher.

The excitement could come in the second round, and there’s a chance to get a good value receiver at the 26 if the Browns don’t go with someone for the defensive side. There are so many strong receivers this year that a starter could be found at the 59.
