<![CDATA[All Hometown team?]]>If the Browns consisted of just players from Northeast Ohio, here is a starting lineup:

Offense

QB Brian Hoyer St. Ignatius

RB Bishop Sankey, born in Wadsworth

FB Kyle Jusczyk, Cloverleaf HS

WR1 Mario Manningham Warren G. Harding

WR2 Cecil Shorts Collinwood

Slot WR Brian Hartline N. Canton

TE Travis Kelse Cleveland Hts.

OC Jason Kelce Cleveland Hts./Corey Linsley Boardman

OG Brian Winters Hudson

OG Alex Boone Lakewood

OT Joh Greco Boardman

OT Rodger Saffold Bedford

(I had to move some OGs to OT to get a full lineup

Defense:

DT Jamie Meder Parma Valley Forge

DT Davon Coleman Glenville

DE Frank Clark Glenville

DE/OLB Whitney Mercilus Garfield (Akron)

LB James Harrison Coventry

LB Jake Ryan Westlake

LB Shaq Riddick Buchtel

LB Jonathan Newsome Glenville

CB Bradley Fletcher Youngstown Liberty

CB Aqib Talib, born in Cleveland

S Donte Whitner Glenville

S Eric Rowe, born in Youngstown

(here I also had to play with some CB/S to get a full lineup)

KR/PR Ted Ginn Jr. Glenville

K Matt Prater Mayfield Hts.

I couldn't find a single punter from this area. Closest guy was Kevin Huber who is from Cincinnati...the only Ohio guy.

Oddly...the state of Georgia produced at least 6 or 7 current NFL punters.

If you know if I missed someone, let me know.

I was actually only listing who I thought were currently active players. Is Trusnik active....and what position?

Well, Trusnik is active- sort of, currently looking for a job. Plays LB\ST. The reason I keep up on him is he's the cousin of my future niece in law. Assuming he makes it to Sarah's wedding- I don't know if I'll have the nerve to ask him for the lowdown on the Ritchie Incognito mess. He was playing for the Dolphins at the time. 🙂

Cardale Jones, Glenville

Tyvis Powell, Bedford

(all other OSU draft prospects come from either other parts of Ohio, or other states)

Anyone else from this area in this draft?

I don't care if they initially lost a lot, I think a team like that who didn't want to go nowhere..eventually that cohesiveness would win a lot of games. Especially defense. You can fill some skill spots on O with some out of staters. But defense ought to be rabid dogs who march into the stadium every sunday like the old legion.

Jason Trusnik- Nordonia Macedonia. Surprised you missed him- played a year for the Browns. (Or you only counting active players?) We can add guys like Joe Jurevicius, Tom Tupa (Brecksville), LeCharles Bentley (Ignatius).
