The Cleveland Browns’ season was nothing short of abysmal, with the Browns winning only three games over the course of the year and earning the rights to the second overall pick in the NFL draft.
However, the Browns made the shocking decision to trade the rights to that pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who subsequently drafted Heisman trophy-winning two-way player Travis Hunter.
An impressive clip of Travis Hunter making an acrobatic interception during the Jaguars’ open-OTAs is going viral on social media, reminding Browns fans of the team’s brutal decision to trade away the pick that the team could’ve used to snag him.
One Cleveland-area sports journalist had the following to say after the video went viral: “Andrew Berry (the Browns’ general manager) better have gotten this one right.”
Fans reacted to the statement on social media.
“He did, every mathematical model agrees in a landslide. Nobody knows the future, no matter what the outcomes agrees, it was the correct process,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“I would say logically when we look back we’ll say it’s no-brainer. You’re not gonna have 180 pound guy played both ways for 12+ years,” someone else wrote.
“Took two weeks to find a clip of him making a legitimate highlight play rather than just dancing at Practice. I think we will be alright,” one fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see if the Browns come to regret passing on Hunter.
