Gamecocks DE Clifton Geathers Selected by Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns selected Clifton Geathers of South Carolina with their sixth round pick, the number 186th pick overall today in the NFL Draft.

Geathers is a tall 6 foot 7 inch right around 295lbs that is seen as “raw” and could take a few seasons to truly reach his potential. I am glad he got picked up in the 6th round but still feel he should have stuck around USC for one more year. Don’t get me wrong, he is a special player that will do great things in the NFL all in due time but why not one more year to potentially go higher next year.  Point is, Geathers is a load of talent and nothing but upside.  Smart move by the Browns to take him with their last pick as quote me on this – it will prove wise.

Geathers is the brother of Robert Geathers, a defensive end for the Cincinnati Bengals, and the nephew of former NFL defensive tackle Jumpy Geathers.
