And with the first pick of the 2000 NFL draft, the Cleveland Browns select…
Courtney Brown of Penn State
Courtney Brown of Penn State.
Brown was simply one of the best to ever pass through Happy Valley racking up numerous accolades his final season at Penn state; 2 time all Big Ten, consensus All-American, Big Ten defensive player and lineman of 1999, Nagurski and Bednarik Trophy winner, and Lombardi award finalist.
Not many people can relegate equally impressive teammate, LaVar Arrington on the field, but Courtney’s NCAA-record 33 sacks and 70 tackles for loss did just that earning him the first draft pick of the 2000 NFL Draft.
