Browns Beat Reporter
Oct 2021 — Present · Cleveland, OH, US
Cover the Cleveland Browns with a focus on feature stories and takeouts, including: profiling safety Grant Delpit\'s rise and overcoming adversity early as a New Orleans native who was displaced after Hurricane Katrina; highlighting undrafted safety D\'Anthony Bell\'s rise from working construction to the Cleveland Browns; asking what makes Pro Bowl receiver Amari Cooper great; profiling versatile linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to find out where that versatility comes from; diving deeper on assistant coach Roy Istvan after he went viral in an expletive-laden speech on \"Hard Knocks\"; highlighting kicker Cade York\'s pursuit of perfection; a story with Anthony Schwartz opening up about his mental health struggles; profiling veteran Justin Hardee\'s return to his hometown; numerous takeouts on Cleveland Heights native Travis Kelce, including his place in the community and his relationship with Taylor Swift; a story on David Bell\'s custom draft day necklace honoring his high school teammate who was murdered; writing a deep dive into Donovan Peoples-Jones\' background as an underappreciated former five-star recruit who is ready for a larger role; finding out Chase Winovich believes his purpose is; unearthing a new perspective from Browns fans with Baker Mayfield tattoos after the quarterback was traded; finding out why Chicago native Greg Newsome II is a huge Cavs fan; and a story on Myles Garrett talking in depth about Odell Beckham Jr.\'s Browns tenure.Also have helped extensively with Cavs coverage, particularly with side bars and features, including highlighting how Donovan Mitchell embedded himself early with Cleveland fans, why Jarrett Allen is a one-of-a-kind All-Star, how Allen and Evan Mobley are masters of verticality, why Mobley\'s short memory is a rarity, and Cleveland\'s 2025 postseason collapse. I also provided in-depth coverage in 2025 when Cleveland was awarded a WNBA expansion team.
