The Browns Are Trying to Get Marcus Mariota in the Sleaziest Way

NFL teams are prohibited from communicating with draft prospects before the combine. However, potential coaches can do whatever they want before signing with a team. The Cleveland Browns have named Kevin O’Connell as quarterbacks coach for the 2015 season, but O’Connell hasn’t officially joined the team yet. He’s finishing up his duties as Marcus Mariota’s personal trainer. Once it’s time for Mariota to pursue his NFL career, O’Connell will pack his bags and head for Cleveland.
