Rob Long Headed To Cleveland Browns Camp

And just like that, we're all Cleveland Browns fans...

Maybe this is asking too much but any chance we can get him to wear #45?

You never like to hear that an opportunity is born from another player's injury but, such is life in the NFL. The Browns called Rob after punter Reggie Hodges went down with an injury yesterday and was carted off the field.

Enter Rob Long and hopefully, may he stay for a while yet.

"At this point, it's just a workout, and go from there,'' Long said before boarding his flight. "I'm excited to get a call at this point.''

Rob also mentioned his agent made calls to every NFL team and that the Browns were the only one to show any interest. Remember that whenever you watch a punter shank it this year.

I'm resisting the GIGANTIC urge to make a cancer joke

I know I shouldn’t, but shit man, the Browns? The amount of coincidences here is fucking mind boggling.

Hopefully he has as good a career as Ernie wasn’t able to have.

I think that's what would make wearing #45 so great

It would be a victory over cancer.

re: 45

You know Sean, I was kind of thinking the same thing. That number should have had a chance to be worn on the field by a Syracuse alum who battled illness.
