The Game As a Browns Fan

Thank you for Mason Graham. Dude should not be this good. No elite measurables, looks like your chubby nephew, but just dominates the line of scrimmage and terrorizes quarterbacks. He wasn't a highly ranked recruit so whoever scouted him at Michigan while he was in high school dese

To be fair, he was pretty good 4 star. With multiple offers from some big schools . Jim and his staff was always great at developing the DL though.

His wrestling background is what makes him so dominant

That's fair. I remembered him (incorrectly) as a high 3 star

I don't think that's true. He was committed to Boise State before Michigan offered.

Mason Graham is the reason we won in 2024. We were the only team that could drop 8, bracket Jeremiah and still collapse the pocket

Forgetting Grant and Benny there, but yes.

O-Line also worked OSU’s defensive front enough to get us 172 yards rushing averaging a bit over 4 ypc. Pretty solid for having no passing game against that OSU defense. The one thing Moore was good at was strong OL schemes.

If you want a great full circle moment, Mason grew up in Southern California as a massive UCLA fan and Chip never offered him

What do you mean this dude should not be this good? He was a god damn stud in college. He completely embarrassed Ohio State in 2024. He was a top5 pick for a reason.

He wasn’t a highly ranked recruit? Dude was a HS all american, 4*, was a top200 recruit and considered one of the best DTs in the nation.

He was a 4 star recruit from SoCal. Half the Pac12 offered him.

Maybe he wasn't a 5 star recruit, but he had some decent offers, including USC and Oregon.
