The Cleveland Browns drafted Perrion Winfrey as their fourth-round pick. The 6’4″ 290 pounds defensive tackle got relegated to 108th pick for his lack of size for the position.

Winfrey addressed a few journalists on Friday regarding his draft. Subsequently, the topic of LeBron James came up.

But ‘the kid from Akron’ returned to take care of unfinished business. Therefore, the fans had to forgive him, eventually.
