And some people thought Joe was a questionable pick....and there were more than a few.
-
Carlton Mitchell, WR 6'3", 215 lbs
Tell me this guy doesn't have even more room to bulk up!
He's gonna be a load to bring down.

I like everything i read about him and see about him.
I don't like to put labels on players, but he might become our T.O.....a kid out of nowhere who exceeds.
T.O. went from UT Chattanooga, to great player, to egghead.
Let's hope this kid follows the same path minus the egghead part.
For that matter, I will even allow the egghead part for a championship or two..

Vickers is a load. This guy is going to plow the way for one of these backs to have a huge season, and for our QB to get the protection they need. I think we need to dump him the ball more often and hand him the rock a bit more to keep defenses honest.
Comparison between Hillis & Vickers (or not much so). Both are 250-lbs, with Hillis 6'2" & Vickers 6'0"

Not trying to hijack the thread but figured it belonged in here. Here are the notes from Day #2 training camp from Sportsline Rapid Report:
Sunday, August 01, 2010
5:09 pm RB Jerome Harrison on defending his durability despite averaging 35 rushes and 187 yards the last three games in 2009: "When big backs get hurt, it's fine. When little backs get hurt, they're injury prone. I just laugh because it makes no sense."
5:05 pm Browns rookie CB Joe Haden on his sudden wealth after signing what was reportedly a five-year, $50 million contract: "The big numbers did blow my mind. The guys were saying, 'Hey, Big Money!' but they were just having a good time."
4:53 pm CB Eric Wright on fending off Sheldon Brown and first-round pick Joe Haden: "I've been challenged since my rookie year and always step up to the plate. Competition brings the best out of everyone. The cream will rise to the top."
4:49 pm Browns new RB Peyton Hillis on the possibility of being just a pass-catching back: "They have me doing a little of everything right now to see where I fit in." Hillis was sensational today, turning two receptions in the flat into long gains.

3:27 pm The knee injury to Montario Hardesty gives Jerome Harrison a clear shot at securing the featured RB shot. Harrison is running wild today, bursting twice through the line for long gains to the cheers of his offensive teammates.
3:04 pm Even Pro Bowlers must run a lap when they err under Browns coach Eric Mangini. Josh Cribbs had to jog around the field after muffing a punt.
3:04 pm Abe Elam has made several nice plays in coverage today. The veteran Browns safety is trying to fend off challenges by Mike Adams and rookie T.J. Ward.
2:56 pm WR Brian Robiskie is playing with the first-teamers today. A disappointment in his rookie season, his progress will be a key to the success of the receiving corps.
2:37 pm Browns rookie RG Shawn Lauvao is working with the first team today. He could end up the starter when the regular season kicks off.
2:32 pm The Browns bolstered their secondary more than any other unit in the offseason, and it's showing today. DBs Eric Wright , Abe Elam and Sheldon Brown have blanketed WRs in 1-on-1 drills.
2:18 pm Browns RT and expected starter Tony Pashos is out for the second consecutive day as he battles a cold. He's in uniform, but not participating in drills.
1:52 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini on the personality of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan: “Rob lives outside the box. I visit him quite often. He has a nice place there.”
1:38 pm It appears quite likely that Shaun Rogers will be moving to DE with Ahtyba Rubin assuming the starting NT spot in the Browns’ 3-4. Coach Eric Mangini said Rogers will get preseason work at RE and LE and “is going to be good at it.”
1:34 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini avoided stating whether backup QB Seneca Wallace will be given a chance to beat out Jake Delhomme, but he is impressed. “It’s clicking,” he said. “He’s got a good arm and makes plays with his feet. I’m encouraged.”
1:32 pm Browns coach Eric Mangini on Matt Roth, who has added bulk and is arguably the team’s best pass-rushing LB: “He’s a very difficult guy to position. He’s very tough and has excellent hands in locking guys up.”
1:30 pm Browns rookie CB Joe Haden is in camp, having signed his contract yesterday. The arrival of the first-round pick today leaves no remaining holdouts.

I better get this ritual out of the way for Howard. It's my annual Mary Kay Cabot sighting:

Hell yeah, thanks for the info!
Us non-local fans really appreciate the detailed information, pics, and vids. It's almost like I was at camp!
You are the man !!

For those of you who have never been to the Browns Training Complex, here is a panoramic video I shot today of the facility.
The large white building houses their 60-yard indoor field. The complex itself has a lot of training rooms, locker room, wave pools, offices, ect. You can pull up great deatil on the ammenities from elsewhere on the web.
The big hill just beyond the complex is a left over from the Bellchick era, once (maybe still is) called 'Bellchick Hill". The far side of the field is VIP seating for media, families of team, etc.. back in 1999 there use to be grandstands there. The kiosk you see are concession stands and such. the place has four outdoor fields, double wide next to one another. Some of the goal post are narrow to hone kicking.
If you have any questions, ask away ... here's the video:

Damn...GUCCI!

Btw, the place was packed again today. IF they weren't leeting people in yesterday and were cutting it off at 3500 and only allowing more in when others left, then they must have decided to up the capacity allotted because today had even more inside and it was a bit hard manuevering through the crowd.
Kids in the Browns kid club get a ticket to enter an autograph tent. My 9yr old daughter received a ticket today and I pulled out of the crowd to meet my wife and child at the tent just prior to the end of practice. They made their way to the tent a half hour ealier. She was the first in line and waited there proudly for over 45 minutes in nearly 90-degree heat. That is after we got there at 12:30 and practice didn't end and players didn't make there way to the tent until nearly 3:45pm. She's a trooper and went with my on Saturday as well.
Her favorite player, of course, is Josh Cribbs. Guess who was one of about ten players sent to the designated tent? Yes, Josh himself ... although the dumbass procedure they have has five players sitting on one line and five others next door. Josh at the last second moved to the other line and she didn't get his autograph. She ever asked very politely if she could just move over and get it and they wouldn't permit it. Dumdasses.
She was good about though and got Carlton Mitchells, Steptoe, Benjamin Watson's, and I can't remember who else.
BTW, if you take your kid and they are one of the select few to receive an autograph ticket, there are two colored tickets, an orange and a brown one. There are two seperate tents, and orange and a brown one. You guessed it, the orange ticket is good for the orange tent and the browns one for the brown tent. The Browns provide a nice little staionary card for autograph use under the tent, or you can have one item (football, pennat, shirt, etc..) signed.
It is a random pick as to who will be signing that day.
Big change from when we were kids and almost got trampled trying to run in front of the players at Hiram college, Kent State and at Lakeland Community college (those were my memories). However, back in the day, every player was game to try to secure an autograph from and everybody had a a shot at obtaining one (man, woman or child).

it's great to see mangini relaxed and having fun with his job.

#94 Rookie Kwaku Danso was the very first out onto the field. He went out to some very open space and seemed to be taking it all in. Not really doing a whole lot of stretching, but maybe pacing around psyching himself up. I love that shit, good for him.
i'm interested in seeing if this guy turns into something good for the browns. let's see what ryan can get out of him.

First post here, but I had to register to say THANK YOU. The information/pictures/videos you have provided have been fantastic. Living out in Denver has been torturous for a Browns fan needing a fix.

this could be the next Blind Side movie waiting to happen! Sandra Bullock can play the role of Rob Ryan?

Ba-da-Bing! Welcome aboard, glad you've now registered and are ready to post. Also very glad that these training camp photo's, write-ups, and video's help bring you guys closer to home. I have a ton of video from the second practice, but am a little apprehensive to put them up because they aren't of as much action as Saturdays session. However, I too once lived out of state and know what it is like to grasp onto any little shread of news possible, so if I get around to it today I will upload more.
