    I didn't ask about Pitt...not sure who would be the best there.

    The Browns did not draft either Golic brother....Bob or Mike (and only Bob....Patriot choice I believe, played for the Browns)

    Way too early on Nassib.

    Penn State Tim Manoa...I knew the Browns had someone back in the 80's from Penn State... initially thought it was Puz.

    You'd have to give the best Penn State player drafted by the Browns to Courtney Brown though.

    Slim pickins as far as PSU players drafted by the Browns.

    Not Manoa, not Brown. There was actually a pretty decent PSU player taken by the Browns once upon a time.
