Tuesday was the first day of Organized Team Activities as the Cleveland Browns met in Berea for the voluntary workouts. The turnout was great, for the second season in a row, as the players seem excited about getting 2023 off to a hot start.
Also excited are the fans โ who are ready for some action. While the workouts in shorts don't typically scream "fast-paced," those of us who love the game are just happy to see the stars get back to work.
That excitement was seen throughout the day on social media and we've collected some of the best tweets from day 1 of Browns OTAs
The Elijah Moore connection
Elijah Moore was one of the biggest offseason additions, so naturally, it was exciting to see No. 8 in action for the first time in Cleveland. Heck, even a simple route could get the blood flowing.

Moore also showed off his shiftiness at times, reminding us how dangerous he can be in the open field.
Deshaun Watson to Elijah Moore is going to be a special duo in 2023 #DawgPound.

New faces on defense
Not long after the draft, Cleveland traded for Za'Darius Smith from the Minnesota Vikings and he was seen in his new threads on Tuesday. Smith is now wearing No. 99 and seems to be thrilled to get to work in Berea.
