We will see defensive tackle Michael Hall Jr., offensive guard Zak Zinter, and more put on the orange and brown helmet for the first time this weekend as the Cleveland Browns get set for rookie minicamp.
They will not be the only ones, however, as the rest of the 2024 NFL draft class will be joined by signed undrafted free agents, some players who were on the roster a year ago, and a handful of players in attendance on a tryout basis as well. No notable veterans are trying out like former Browns’ wideout Jarvis Landry is with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but some smaller school players have a chance to make a name for themselves and potentially earn a roster spot left open by the release of offensive lineman Dawson Deaton.
All-in-all, 26 players will be on the field in Berea this weekend for rookie minicamp. Here is the full list of participants:
