Cleveland found a different way to do it.
Browns have a 2-way rookie even after trading away the Travis Hunter draft pick originally appeared on The Sporting News
The Cleveland Browns could've had Travis Hunter, but they traded that draft pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
That doesn't mean the Browns are totally out on the two-way player fun, though.
They've actually got a two-way guy making the roster to start the season, one much more unexpected than Hunter.
His name: Adin Huntington.

On Saturday, Huntington started at fullback in the Browns' preseason finale.
He then held down a defensive line role and tallied 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.
Huntington also led the Browns in special teams tackles this preseason, according to Andrew Siciliano, who added that Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski said Huntington is making the team.
The 6-foot tall, 263-pound Huntington began his college career with three seasons at Kent State.
Then, he went to Louisiana-Monroe for a year and had 8.5 sacks.
Huntington wrapped up at Tulane in 2024 with 30 tackles and 4.0 sacks.

He went undrafted, but the Browns clearly liked his versatility.
Huntington runs a 4.64-second 40-yard dash, which is impressive at his size and position.
There's a chance he turns into a really useful piece for the Browns. He certainly gives them options as far as how to use him, which is exciting for a guy they didn't even have to draft.
