Troy Smith inexplicably begs to play for Browns
The NFL draft has plenty of examples of players who refuse to sign with the team that drafts them…John Elway with the Colts, Eli Manning with the Chargers. It’s not often you see a player campaign for a team to draft him. It’s even rarer for that team to be the Cleveland Browns. In fact, without checking our sources, we’d say it’s safe to say that it has never happened.
What would make Troy Smith beg to play in Cleveland? The amazing pool of talent that would surround him? The strong offensive line that would protect him? Could it be that he’s just a fan of the warm colors which stylishly make up the Browns uniforms? Maybe it’s the undeniable appeal of being known as “the next Trent Dilfer.”
With Troy Smith hoping to bring the Browns to glory, and LeBron James already doing wonders for the Cavaliers, Cleveland fans will be asking excitedly - are we moving toward a sports renaissance in Cleveland? Will Cleveland become one of the premiere sports towns in the country? The answer, sadly, is no. We’re more likely to see a perfume renaissance in New Jersey.
