He stands at 6’8″ and around 300 pounds. His size and length make him perfect for the defensive end position in the Browns 3-4 defense. He can be explosive off the ball but is strong and long enough to hold up to double teams and still make a play. <p> </p> <p>For the Browns they would add a similar but more dynamic player across from <strong><a href=.
