Tyrone Moss' Browns Career Lasts a Week

May/09/07 11:47 AM Filed in: Tyrone Moss
Just a couple of days ago, the Akron Beacon-Herald was suggesting that Tyrone Moss could work his way into the Browns' running back rotation as an undrafted free agent., and Moss was comparing himself to Jamal Lewis. Sure, he ran an unimpressive 4.75 40-yard dash, but the thought was that he was a very solid back at Miami before some injuries, so maybe he could be an interesting power back. He had been considered by many draft guides as a potential late-round pick heading into the draft.

Well apparently he looked worse than awful in the Browns rookie minicamp. Without a chance to ever put on some shoulder pads, Moss was cut on Tuesday.

The Browns replaced him Michigan running back Jerome Jackson who impressed enough as a tryout at the minicamp to earn a contract. Jackson rushed for a grand total of 720 yards in four seasons at Michigan, but apparently he showed more than Moss did.

The Browns also signed large (6-foot-8, 300-pound) offensive tackle Cliff Louis out of the tryout camp.
