The NFL training camp is a time teams work on their playbooks and build cohesion with new teammates. But the Cleveland Browns camp witnessed an unusual sight on the eighth- day of camp in Greenbriar. Their $230 million QB Deshaun Watson had a rusty debut last season. Even former WR Gregory Jennings came forward to talk about his skepticism of the 27-year-old’s performance, while still regarding him as one of the finest QBs in American Football.

But Watson was not the only one making headlines in training camp. Apart from the QB, his teammates are going viral on social media. And the reason? Well, it is because they turned the field into a fight club.

At first, it looked like any other normal drill during practice. After the huddle, Brown DE Ogbo Okoronkwo, wearing the no.54 jersey, made a run. As he ran his route, OT James Hudson defended him, wearing the no.66 jersey. Hudson defended Okoronkwo well, as he held him to the ground while the QB made his pass.

But after the play, the DE slapped Hudson and proceeded to run away from him. The 24-year-old went after Okoronkwo, visibly angered by the slap. He then proceeded to retaliate, which led to the two players locking horns and getting ready to fight each other. But other teammates were quick to de-escalate the situation before it turned into something more serious. The video posted by NFL insider Ari Meirov shows the whole incident, after which we see a hoard of Cleveland Browns players trying to separate Ogbo Okoronkwo and James Hudson.
