Something about being a father and seeing these kids achieve their goals and then they turn right around and talk about how much they want to do this for their parents. I could never want my children to give me credit for something they worked for but these kids do that time and time again. I love it.

This is also a true rags to riches story. His mom was making less than $200 a week and their rent was under $10 a month when he was a kid.

He’s been through all the tough times and that’s the kind of thing that will humble a kid if he’s raised well.

I’m really happy for Greedy and hope him and Denzel shut down the passing lanes for years to come.

I was reading that article last night talking about how his mom paid 8 dollars a month for rent. My wife LOVES this pick and she’s just a casual fan. She loves the name and thinks it’s fitting for his position but she also seems to be a big fan of Greedy’s mother. So that’s cool too.

Can we link the listing for that $8/month rental? Parking spots are $20/day!

I’m trying to find it. I read it last night after we picked him. It was written by espn I think and I found it through bleacher report.

It’s a sign that they were raised properly. It takes great humility and genuine respect for the sacrifices made by others to be presented with the right opportunities to want to give back to those people.

Agree. I think it's gonna become clear the tackling thing was just him making sure he made the draft. And guys from that sort of background I don't judge that at all.

Now with the money in the bank and some LSU guys to look up to I think he's gonna break out.

100%. If they aren’t getting paid to put their body on the line in college, reducing risk of injury is paramount.

More importantly- the staff here is gonna provide him with the tools become great. Great players are amazing to have, shit we know that. We’ve had first pick for how many years? Sashi laid the ground work, unpopular opinion: he got fucked. Shout out to Obama. Dorsey is leading the charge. Kitchens is calling the action, and these guys are gonna make the plays.

Go FUCKIN BROWNS.

It's hard not to like this kid. We are getting some passionate dudes. I like the genuineness. It's easy to see these guys really create the kind of warmth and team culture we haven't seen since the late 80s. Dawg check!!!

I like it when people give a fuck about giving back to those who helped them, and he gives a fuck. Welcome to Cleveland, Greedy.

Very happy to see we drafted the anti justin gilbert. Pairs well with our anti johnny football qb from last year.

Go Browns!
