Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah featured in NFL Africa’s Super Bowl Ad

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is featured in NFL Africa’s Super Bowl commercial.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was featured in NFL Africa’s Super Bowl commercial. The ad highlights the extensive growth the organization has made in Africa.

Owusu-Koramoah is shown watching a young boy play football at a market in Accra, Ghana. The boy imagines himself playing with the superstars of the NFL as he runs past vendor after vendor. Running back Saquon Barkley, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, linebacker Fred Warner, and defensive lineman Cameron Jordan appear in uniform.

Owusu-Koramoah wasn’t shown in uniform, instead in his kente gown, looking down upon the boy and his imaginary game. Owusu-Koramoah has become a fashion icon for his traditionalist outfits.

The commercial ends with the boy stumbling on a training facility for NFL Africa and chatting with Super Bowl legend Osi Umenyiora about the beautiful sport. Umenyiora fostered and promoted the program throughout the continent.

Last season, Owusu-Koramoah and Ogbo Okoronkwo traveled with NFL Africa. The pair helped run training camps for undiscovered football prospects. Working for Ghana and other African countries means a lot to the young linebacker. It’s awesome to see his love reciprocated in campaigns.

WATCH: Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah mic’d up at Pro Bowl

The first time Pro Bowler enjoyed himself last week

The Pro Bowl games took place this past weekend down in Orlando Florida and Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was there for his first selection.

What a year Owusu-Koramoah had with the Browns as he had a true breakout season showing all the upside and potential coming together for the third-year player.

He is so athletic and instinctual that when you see him diagnose the play in front of him you see him react in an insanely small amount of time. JOK was asked to put on weight and take his game to the next level and he more than stepped up to the challenge and was impossible to take off the field by the end of the year.

As a result, he found himself down in Orlando and mic’d up for the first practice of the week. You can see from the video that he is truly enjoying himself and the accomplishments he made on the field this year.

Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah named NFL’s Most Stylish Player of the Year per GQ

Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is named the NFL’s most stylish player of the year according to GQ

According to a GQ poll, Cleveland Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah was named the NFL’s most stylish player of the year. Owusu-Koramoah has generated a lot of buzz this season around his African-inspired wardrobe. He looks to be America’s Next Top Middle Linebacker.

Owusu-Koramoah was titled the best-dressed in the NFL by Andscape earlier this year. Owusu-Koramoah does a great job of exhibiting the diverse fashion styles found in Africa. 

His style changed radically from week to week as he experimented with colors, patterns, and silhouettes. Some weeks, he showed sleek suits with minimal color. The following week, he’d display a patterned gown with a crown to match it.

The styles he exhibits could soon be found on the streets. Owusu-Koramoah plans to launch a fashion line named Abravo once he finds manufacturers. 

The rest of the Browns were well-represented in GQ’s bracket. Grant Delpit, Greg Newsome II, Marquise Goodwin, and Denzel Ward were included in the tournament. Ward lost to Owusu-Koramoah in the Finals. Next season, the players will have much to prove on and off the field.

PFF can’t stop talking about Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah

What a year for the Browns linebacker

Third-year linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah out of Notre Dame broke out in a big way for the Cleveland Browns in 2023.

Owusu-Koramoah found his grove in Jim Schwartz’s defense as he took on more and more snaps as the year went on and even had the green dot for the defense.

All of this came after some comments from the staff that they wanted him to add some weight, he did, and boy did it work. His impressive season caught the attention of PFF who this past week put him as the Browns’ selection for both their Most Improved list and their Secret Superstar list.

“The linebacker plays like he was shot out of a cannon, and his 75.2 PFF grade ranked 20th at the position. Owusu-Koramoah also recorded a career-high 101 total tackles in 16 games, as well as 3.5 sacks in 16 games — the most he’s played in his career. He’s molding himself into one of the best linebackers in the NFL, on one of the best defenses in the NFL.”

The Browns should consider locking up the linebacker this offseason as he has become a cornerstone piece of this Browns’ roster.

Browns get two more players added to the Pro Bowl roster

Two more Browns to the Pro Bowl.

After originally being named as alternates, the Cleveland Browns will see linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and offensive guard join the other five nominees at the Pro Bowl.

Owusu-Koramoah and Teller will tag along with defensive end Myles Garrett, tight end David Njoku, offensive guard Wyatt Teller, cornerback Denzel Ward, and wide receiver Amari Cooper. All-in-all, seven players from the Cleveland roster will represent the Browns at the all-star affair.

Owusu-Koramoah is coming off of a breakout season where he amassed the most tackles for loss of any linebacker in the NFL. He added two interceptions to his box score as well, proving to be a blur on the field under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz.

Teller played perhaps his best season of football this year, which is a positive thing to say about a guy who has already been to two other Pro Bowls.

While the Pro Bowl is no longer what it used to be, it is a positive sign for the future of the Browns for so many players to be recognized around the league.

Report: Brother of former Notre Dame star to visit this weekend

Will it run in the family for the Irish?

When former Notre Dame linebacker [autotag]Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah[/autotag] dropped out of the first round of the NFL draft, many were surprised.

He had a great career for the Irish and looked every bit like a player who should have been selected on day one. Now, many teams regret their decision, as he has been one of the best defenders on a stout Cleveland Browns team. The connection will surely help Notre Dame with his brother, [autotag]Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng[/autotag], a 2025 linebacker.

The 6-foot, 2-inch and 205-pounder is set for a weekend visit to South Bend according to this report by 247Sports Brian Dohn (subscription required), and will conclude his trips this month by going on shorter trip to in-state Miami (FL).

Owusu-Boateng is one of the best prospects in the country, ranking as the No. 6 linebacker and 53rd overall prospect nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. It’s clear that Notre Dame would love it if he followed in his brothers footsteps.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ defensive players vs. Texans

It was by far the defenses worst performance of the year

The calling card of the 2023 Cleveland Browns defense was nowhere to be found on Saturday as the team only managed nine quarterback pressures and zero sacks as a team. Linebackers Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and Sione Takitaki were the only noticeable players to step up.

It looked like a good chance for the dominant pass rush to make a rookie quarterback look flustered, but it was the opposite that happened.

Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik had Browns defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz’s scheme figured out from the start. He knew what Cleveland was going to throw at them and exactly how to beat that and the Browns looked lost on that side of the ball.

The Browns’ defense just looked unprepared and almost like they thought they could just show up and they would dominate. Now they are on their coach looking towards the future with their 2023 season now complete. Here is a look at the top 10 performances from the blowout loss on the defensive side of the ball according to PFF.

Social Media Reacts to Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s Huge Playoff Showing

Former Notre Dame star shines in playoff loss and the nation took notice

Saturday didn’t go the way the Cleveland Browns wanted as they dropped their Super Wild Card weekend game to the Houston Texans which ended the Browns season.

The Browns fell 45-14 after an early shootout.  It wasn’t the best evening for the Cleveland defense that was as good as just about any in the NFL this year but former Notre Dame star linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah had himself a huge night.

Owusu-Koramoah, or JOK as he was called by many at Notre Dame, gained plenty of attention on social media Saturday night as he made countless plays in the loss.

Below is just some of the best social media reaction to his showing.

NCAA Football Video Game Returns: Notre Dame Players We Missed Out On

Which Notre Dame player would have been the best to play with?

College football has its own cult-like following that makes it truly unique compared to any other American sport.  Even in that group there are sub-groups that are even that much more passionate.

One of those groups includes anyone who was ever a fan of the NCAA Football video game by EA Sports.

Personally, I can’t begin to estimate the total hours spent as a high school student in my parents house playing that game, the amount of hours I invested in it during college, or the hours I spent in my early-20’s with it.

However, it went away after the NCAA Football ’13 edition, meaning we’ve gone a full decade (2014-2023 seasons) now without the game.

So which players in that time did we especially miss playing with if we would have been playing as Notre Dame?

Here are the 11 we missed out in video game form the most.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah gets Christmas gift, Browns pick off Case Keenum vs. Texans

For the second straight week, the Browns get a gift from Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. This time Case Keenum and the Texans are his victim.

For the second straight week, the Cleveland Browns have gotten a turnover from the arms of linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah. Late in the second quarter against the Houston Texans, Owusu-Koramoah was able to come away with the football off of a throw from former Browns quarterback Case Keenum in a game that is going Cleveland’s way.

Owusu-Koramoah has defensive tackle Shelby Harris to thank, however, as he is the one who got his hand on the football to bat the ball into the air and right into the lap of the linebacker.

Competing for Pro Bowl spots that come down to box score numbers more than actual on-field performances, Owusu-Koramoah deserves to get a few notches in the interception column. Even if they both have come from a bit of luck.

The Browns were not able to get any points out of the drive as kicker Dustin Hopkins left the game with a hamstring injury. Sitting with a 22-7 lead at halftime, the Browns are looking to close this game out in Houston and seal their tenth win (and very likely a playoff spot) in this one.
