On the first night of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns were considered by many to be losers. Despite getting a large haul for the second overall pick, the franchise passed up on a generational talent in Travis Hunter. That had fans wondering if a poor draft from general manager Andrew Berry was on the way. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case.
In fact, Cleveland’s draft ended up as one of the better ones in many peoples’ eyes. They used their litany of picks to draft high-profile players who were extremely productive in college. And they made headlines by taking two stabs at the quarterback position, with Dillon Gabriel in the third round and Shedeur Sanders in the fifth round. While some may consider two quarterbacks a waste of draft capital, the team clearly wants one specific quarterback to emerge as the starter following the preseason.

Greg Olsen loves what Harold Fannin Jr. can bring to Browns
Sanders was considered the much better value, as he was taken with the 144th overall pick. But he wasn’t the best selection made by the Browns, at least in the eyes of former tight end and FOX Sports analyst Greg Olsen. That title belongs to Harold Fannin Jr., a tight end from Bowling Green drafted 67th overall.

You can’t teach tall, big and fast. You don’t catch 117 balls if you can’t play. He’s downfield, he’s long, he’s big. He looks like a wide receiver… He’s catching the ball with his hands, he can run after the catch. It doesn’t matter to me that he played at Bowling Green. We’ve seen really good players come from smaller schools.
Fannin followed up an impressive sophomore season at Bowling Green with an epic All-American season in 2024. He put up a whopping 1,555 yards and double digit touchdowns on 117 receptions. Those reception and yardage numbers led the country among all pass-catchers, and he did it as a tight end, which is almost unheard of.
Whoever is at signal-caller for the Browns, they will certainly have two extremely talented safety valves at tight end in Fannin and David Njoku.
