CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns finally added to the offensive side of the ball to wrap up their second day of the NFL Draft after focusing on the defense with their first two picks. They selected Anthony Schwartz of Auburn with the No. 91 overall pick.

Schwartz, 6-foot, 186 pounds ran a blazing 4.25 40-yard dash on his pro day and NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein praises his “track speed and rare acceleration.”

“He’s not your typical track guy,” Vice President of Football Operations Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said after the pick. “He likes to run after plays.”

Schwartz had 117 career catches at Auburn, including 54 for 636 yards and three touchdowns in 2020. He carried the ball 38 times in his first two years at Auburn.

The pick of Schwartz was announced by Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. He led Browns fans in a “Here we go Brownies” chant prior to the pick after declaring, “This is a Browns town, baby.”
