Of all the great players to come out of Florida State since Bobby Bowden began coaching there in 1976, the Browns have drafted only two players who made the team: DE Dan Footman (1993 2nd), who was decent, and RB Greg Allen (1985 2nd), a bust.
The best ever former Seminoles to play for Cleveland is DE Orpheus Roye. The only other “new” Browns who went to Florida State were Paul Irons, Nick Maddox, Derrick Alexander, and Devin Bush. Other noteworthy former Seminoles-turned-Browns were
TE Chip Glass and DB Walt Sumner.The unit of the 2006 draft was supposed to be the USC offense (Bush, Leinart, White, Justice, etc). But four Seminole defenders have been selected in the first 19 picks. That’s pretty amazing. Let’s hope the new KW turns out to be the best of this rowdy bunch.
