Browns Draft Linebacker Justin Jefferson

0:00On April 25th, Parker Brailsford, the center from Alabama football, just got selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 2026 NFL Draft. They grabbed him at pick number 146 overall, right in the early 5th round. He's the second Crimson tie player taken on day 3 following LT Overton. Brailsford transferred from Washington after coach Kalen DeBoer took the Alabama job, and that move paid off big for his career. At Bama, he locked down the starting center spot for both the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Folks saw him as one of the best in the SEC at protecting the pocket. Now he's heading to Cleveland to join forces with wide receiver Jerry Judy, another former Alabama standout on the Browns roster. Brailsford brings that SEC grit to the pros, ready to battle up front and build on his college success with the Browns. Stay locked in with NFL news today, AI-powered updates.
