Bernard Gooden Joins Browns as Undrafted Free Agent

0:00It's April 27th. Welcome in. This is NFL News Today, where the league meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Bernard Gooden, the defensive lineman from LSU, just landed a spot with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent. He signed on Sunday after wrapping up one solid season with the Tigers. In that year at LSU, Gooden suited up for 12 gains with 11 starts. He racked up 24 tackles, four of them for loss and two sex, holding down the line for their defensive crew. Gooden kicked off his college ball back in the class of 2022 at Wake Forest. As a true freshman, he played 12 games with three starts before bouncing to South Florida. His standout junior year came at South Florida in 2024, where he started 11 of every game. That season, he posted 35 tackles, 10 for loss, and 1.5 sex, which pushed him into the transfer portal. Now with the Browns, Gooden brings that trench warfare experience straight to the pros, ready to battle for a roster spot.
