“I’m a versatile player. I can do it all on the field. Then to that locker room, I’m a cool guy to be around. A guy that will bridge this locker room together,” Newsome said via NFL Network’s Will Selva.

“He fits what we are. He fits how we play. He fits our style.” @Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski says @gnewsii was the top player on their draft board.
