PITTSBURGH — Just a few selections earlier, the Cleveland Browns added pick No. 58 following a trade from the San Francisco 49ers to the roster. Many picks and two trades later, the Browns were back on the clock and selected offensive tackle Austin Barber in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
The Jacksonville, Florida, native spent two seasons with the Gators. He started 13 games at left tackle in 2024 and 12 games at left tackle in 2025, going Third-Team All-SEC in 2025.
Barber joins an offensive tackle room in Cleveland that includes Jeremiah Byers, Cam Robinson, and newly drafted Spencer Feno (No. 9).
He is the third player added on Friday and the fifth selected so far in this year's draft.
The Browns' night is complete. Cleveland is scheduled to be back on the clock Saturday for the final day of the draft, holding six more picks.
