Fill out your Cleveland Browns all-time bracket to make up for no March Madness
By Randy Gurzi
We all missed out on March Madness this year but we can still fill out our brackets as we have started an all-time Cleveland Browns tournament
This year has already been strange as the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many of us to stay inside as the world faces uncertain times. And while it’s not as important as human health, the fact is we have all missed our sports.
While right now The Master’s tournament would be going on, that’s not the first major event that was canceled in America as we didn’t get to enjoy March Madness this season. And when it comes to the collegiate tournament, the fun lies in filling out the brackets and seeing if we can guess the winners.
But have no fear, we at Dawg Pound Daily have come up with a bracket of our own to help you pass the time. Our own Mitch Zoloty put together a list of the 64 best Cleveland Browns players of all-time and has them split up by era.
