Browns ink 3 draft picks

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns signed three of their eight 2021 draft picks a day before the team was to open rookie minicamp.

West Virginia linebacker Tony Fields II, Georgia safety Richard LeCounte and UCLA running back/wide receiver Demetric Felton signed their deals on Thursday.

They were the last picks by Cleveland, which used five of its selections in the draft to help rebuild a defense that was overhauled this offseason.

The Browns selected Fields, who led the Big 12 in tackles per game last season after transferring from the University of Arizona to West Virginia, in the fifth round.
