The Cleveland Browns reportedly agreed to terms with former Florida State offensive lineman Cameron Erving, the No. 19 overall selection in the 2015 NFL Draft.

ESPN’s Adam Caplan was the first to report the news Friday.

The Browns already have signed their other first-rounder, No. 12 overall pick Danny Shelton, a nose tackle out of Washington. The 6-foot-5, 313-pound Erving can play anywhere along the line. He was a left tackle until the final five games of his career at Florida State when he moved seamlessly to center. He will challenge John Greco at right guard in 2015 and could move to center next year if Alex Mack opts out of his contract and leaves.

At rookie minicamp last week, the Browns used Erving at different positions along the line.

“I play center and left tackle,” Erving said. “If you’re an offensive lineman, you pride yourself on being an offensive lineman, not one position.”
