Browns sign second round pick LB Emmanuel Ogbah

Posted

Linebacker Emmanuel Ogbah was signed by the Cleveland Browns, the team announced Thursday.

Ogbah makes the seventh player signed, out of 14 draft picks.
 
According to the Browns, Ogbah, a three-year starter at Oklahoma State, collected 133 tackles, 35.5 tackles for loss and 26.5 sacks. In his junior and final season with the Cowboys, the 6-foot-4, 273-pound prospect made career-highs of 17.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks.
 
Ogbah was an All-Big 12 selection in 2014 and impressed at the combine with his athleticism, the Browns said, running a 4.67-second 40-yard dash.
 
“When he’s angry, he’s a powerful force to be reckoned with,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said during a broadcast shortly after Ogbah was selected in the draft.
