Cornerback Greedy Williams, a second-round draft pick by Cleveland on Friday, has lofty expectations for his new team.
“I know one thing — that the Browns are going to the Super Bowl this year. That’s a fact,” the former LSU player said, per ESPN.
Williams, who was selected 46th overall, also touted the team’s Pro Bowl cornerback, Denzel Ward.
“Oh, my God … Me and Denzel, we are going to tear up the league,” Williams said. “You can go man on the outside all day, and we will lock down those receivers. Denzel is a Pro Bowl corner, came in his rookie year and did what he needed to do. I know he’s going to prep me up and get me ready to do the same thing. Possibly we can be the two Pro Bowl corners in the league playing for the same team.”
The Browns have been busy this offseason, adding receiver Odell Beckham Jr., running back Kareem Hunt and defensive end Olivier Vernon among a host of others.
Cleveland finished 7-8-1 last season after winning just one game total the prior two seasons.
