By Randy Gurzi
The Daily Dawg Tags bring you all the Cleveland Browns news you need to know, including a quote from one of Martin Emerson’s former coaches
Martin Emerson ended up being the Cleveland Browns first selection in the 2022 NFL Draft as they added the former Mississippi State cornerback in the third after trading out of Round 2.
Since making the pick, there has been a lot of praise heaped on Cleveland for adding him and you can add a former coach of his to the mix.
Jim Moorhead, who now coaches at Akron, was the head coach for the Bulldogs when Emerson was a freshman and said the Browns are going to love this kid.
That story and more can be found in today’s Daily Dawg Tags.

"“It was a little tough on the other end too,” Hill said Monday, via the Los Angeles Times, “because it was like it’s always that could’ve, should’ve, would’ve type of thing.”"
While it would be easy to bash Hill for saying this, it probably was hard to take the bigger contract then go watch the team you left win it all.
