Browns Select Cedric Tillman with No. 3rd-Round Pick

The Cleveland Browns traded up in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft to select wide receiver Cedric Tillman from the University of Tennessee.

Tillman is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound receiver who was a standout for the Volunteers in 2022, catching 64 passes for 1,081 yards and 12 touchdowns. He is known for his size, strength, and ability to make contested catches.

The Browns traded their No. 67 overall pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick to the Houston Texans to move up to No. 63 and select Tillman. The Browns were in need of a wide receiver after trading Odell Beckham Jr. to the Los Angeles Rams in November.

Tillman is expected to compete for a starting role in the Browns' offense alongside Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones. He is a talented receiver who has the potential to be a productive player in the NFL.

Here are some highlights of Tillman's college career:

• Had 100 receiving yards in seven games during his career.
• Caught 12 touchdown passes in the 2022 season.
• Was named to the All-SEC First Team in 2022.

The Browns are hoping that Tillman can be a key contributor to their offense for years to come.
